Default where can buy some fuel tank patches?

there is a very small crack on my gas tank (accord 1998), so gas is just seeping down...
and i heard something like 'fuel tank patch kit'.
is there such a thing and where can I buy one in toronto or scarborough?


thanks.

If it is cracked and not rusted a place that recores radiators may be able to fix it correctly. They used to sell a patch but that is a temporary repair like the mini spare just to get you to a service station. I believe your tank has a drain plug which is helpful in doing a repair.

Where is the leak?

If it's at the flange/seam that goes all around the edge of the tank, then it's probably rusted & any kind of patch won't last long. Because the entire remaining seam is almost ready to rust through.
