Thanks for the feedback. the tank appears to be aluminum, and I've ordered 5/16 inch thick aluminum plate to weld a thick oval ring spacer to the oval cutout in the tank. The tank is fine and I don't plan on replacing it, I may however remove the foam and replace or just go without the foam. Once I remove the tank, I'll be in a better position to assess the health of the tank. I am also replacing the Facet brand electric fuel pump while I'm in there. These types of quality problems in construction are bothersome. The placement of the cutout in the tank is very close to the upper tank seam and extremely close to the bottom of the tank which has a rounded edge. This bottom section is where the lack of seal is causing leakage. Weather is still ice cold so now is the time to get er done. Thanks again.
