A good fuel cell will cost you $500, so stick with what you have.

You ought to NOT do this your self, but I'd braze the pinholes closed,
then use the exotic coating.

I say dont do it yourself becuase since the tank use to have gasoline in
it,
the vapours are tough to abate, and tend to explode when welded.
There is a procedure that involves water or some inert gas that will
prevent the explosion, but Im not savvy to it.

If you are still thinking about the fuel cell, I have a used one that I
had
to remove from my SII due to new competition regs.
Cost = $50
Includes the mounting hardware.
