Thanks mate - I will investigate the fillers - I need a putty like consistency to lay a 8 to 10 mm bead down about 6mm inside and below the bottom edge of the top surface. Hopefully I can then very carefully and gently insert the tank bottom with a smear of same on the outside edge and then clamp it up. I intend then to pour in some ethanol resistant tank sealer in 4 daily tranches allowing the tank to rest with one edge lowermost so that that edge becomes sealed as the sealant settles on my already cured putty and so on until the LH and RH and front and back are petrol tight. If I set the bottom of the tank about 4 mm below the lowest edge of the top I can then put a fillet of more putty over the joint from the outside without it showing from the sides/above. That is the plan anyway. I think pictures during the process are unlikely as my hands will be contaminated with putty.
