If you can find a 1or 2 cent coin you should be able to solder it over the hole if you are lucky two have it on a flat spot or you may have to bend it a bit to suit will be safe enough if tank is nearly empty done it heaps of times will last longer than you

If its a small enough hole you could just solder it up and be done with it, otherwise as Mark said Knead it. I had a few holes too big to solder and that was what I used in mine. Works a treat!
