    Try a fuel proof epoxy(fuel tank repair kit?) if all else fails,convert to a grommet and barb setup.

    I have had the same leak at my left wing tank (Aluminium).
    I removed the tank and let the tank welded by an Aluminium welder.

    Bear-perkins offers a sight guage which consists of grommet fittings and a sight tube that has an orange pill which floats at fuel level. I've seen this on PPC's and works quite well. Seems a little pricey at about $50 but high functioning. The grommets need a 1/2" hole to seal up properly.
