Way late I know, but I had this exact problem on an old blazer years ago.   I figured out where thee leaky hole was then screwed in a sheet metal screw, and slathered the whole thing with Marine Tex epoxy.  Done in 5 minutes.   The tank was still going strong when I sold the rig several years later.

]The old tanks were not presurized. No EPA then. But worked great as a temp. Softer bar soap, work in well. The gas reacted with the lye in the bar soap and hardened.

Not sure how it would be on presurized if you tried it with the cap off (depresurized) for awhile,, then tighten.
