Don't seal it, replace it!!!
A while ago MK had some plastic tanks made which were welded with the wrong filler, it has been well documented here. How old is your tank?
I would suggest a call to MK as they were replacing plastic tanks with ally ones.
Is your car SVA'd? If not, the plastic tank wouldn't pass IVA now, they need a certificate.
