Still, given that yours has perforated, I would not suggest that you try to repair it because if it has gone through anywhere, then you KNOW that it is thin in lots more places. I have seen a two part epoxy putty that you knead together and apply to the tank. This would probably hold you until you find a good used tank. Let us know where you are located and someone is likely to have one nearby. I have several.
