Might want to consider using a pop rivet. There are some that don't have an open center hole for liquid to leak out of. I used one years ago to seal a tiny pinhole in a station wagon tank I didn't want to remove. Used the pop rivet and covered it over with JB Weld. Was still holding several years later when I sold the car.

weld--er-up...
to do it safely, fill the tank with water first to displace the fuel vapor

solder a piece of copper over the hole,has worked many times. Solder works great, but need to remove any galvanizing around hole first. Flux core solder if really clean, otherwise some acid core.
