Mine were more extensive than that, more like 3 x 9. Repaired it myself
many years ago using soft solder, propane torch and a patch panel beat from
a soup can. Still holds gas today.
To get all the fumes out, I filled several times with water and let it
overflow (as well as out the bottom openings) for a minute or two, then
drained and let it dry in the sun. Repeated that several times, until I
could no longer see traces of petroleum floating on the water nor smell any
fumes.
YMMV and all that, but it can be done.
The tank I picked up from eBay for $50 is still in the garage rafters.
