I purchased a sheet of 16g 304 stainless. Pre-cut to fit the hole I was patching. I used Blue Demon 308LFC-O flux core stainless welding wire that doesn't need shielding gas. It welded up well. Painted the outside then sealed the inside with KBS coatings tank sealer. I took my time and followed the directions explicitly. It turned out better than I thought it would. If it fails, I'll just get a fuel cell replacement.
Overall, I'm pleased with the results.
