Solder leaking tank? Pros and cons.

[Stabler]

I was doing some cleaning up before sending my tank to paint and apparently ground of a little to much on one weld on the tank. (I know - I shouldn't have been grinding there at all - but what's done is done.)
Now I've got a leak ther. About one drip every 6-7 seconds.

My question is, would soldering this be a good fix? Will it last? Or should I put a "touch" of weld there instead? Or should I do something completely different?

Thanks, Stabler.

try brazing instead, need to clean tank out first obviously

I think soldering with vibrate off eventually, ruining the paint work.

Ok. Don't have the equipment to do just that though. Any other ideas?
(Ya, I know about the gas fumes and the kaboom risk etc. Lol.)

find someone who does, its all part of getting your network of people together.

Your a welder right? Then what's the problem? Weld it.

Nope, I'm not a welder. I just got acces to welding equipment. BUT I'm going to weld it anyway. My final out..

I got redkote liquid tank liner for mine. Wasn't leaking, but rusty. The can says it will seal up 1/16" holes. This stuff is badass. Bought it at napa for $30.
