Hello,

There are some gas tank patch kits out there and you should be able to find one at your local auto parts store for a reasonable price. I would consider this a temporary fix though and look into getting a new gas tank. Gas is extremely flammable and a patch like this is something that I personally would not trust for long. I have included in the diagrams down below a step by step guide for the removal and installation of the fuel tank in your vehicle. Please get back to us with what happens.

Thanks,
Alex
