[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 356221, member: 13702"] JB weld would be my solution - I've got a 55 Johnson 5.5 with the same original tank - the tanks are aluminum, so it wouldn't have taken much with wire wheel to have gone too far. Feathering the JB weld over a half-dollar area around the pin hole like you would mud on drywall might be a smart move in case you accidentally wore away the sidewall elsewhere. Pressurizing in the sun is normal, both my '55 can and the brand new plastic do it...though the aluminum can doesn't deform as a result of it. [/QUOTE]
