Hey guys,
my fuel tank has a couple of tiny pine hole leaks and its becoming a pain to get welded up...
What do you guys think of this?
http://www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail.asp?productID=8232&frostProductName=Fuel%20Tank%20Sealer%20(US%20Quart,%20946ml)
..or does anyone know of a better sealant idea?
Thanks!

Try "PetroPatch" apply it the holes from the outside shellac based a bit messy to use but effective ---- should cost less than a fiver wear gloves as it difficult to get off your hands.
Another vote for Petropatch
They used that tin of stuff in practical classics to good effect...
There is also a liquid sealer on the market, that you drain the tank and remove it, swirl it around until it has coated the inside of the tank, and
then let it go off
I used it in my first (book built home made crap tank) and it did a fairly good job
I bought it from a local Motor cycle shop

I like the idea of pouring something in to fill the holes.
Is that original product no good?
I'll order a product tonight online once I've worked out whats gonna do the job...
Reading the link you put up it looks to be good and por15 seems to have a good name on here
I have never used the my self

por 15 is not that good long term we did this to a wolseley 1500 petrol tank did the job in sealing the holes but after a couple of years the lining started to break up blocking the fuel lines

The kit contains an etching agent to ensure the sealent
sticks. As here

I think you HAVE to use the whole tank repair kit to be sure it will work, over £60

I don't care if it's £60 tbh. I just want a tank that doesn't leak. It's so frustrating as it's been in and out the car so many times.
Will that product definitely do the job you think?
I had a couple of pin holes in my home made ally tank so treated it to a motorcycle tank repair kit from the Frosts catalogue (yes made by POR I
think) seemed to work , no problems so far 
Update:
Bought the kit, gone through all the instructions and right now the stuff is drying in the tank.
Should know by next weekend if it worked or not.
Hope this works!
