I had to cut off the head of a bolt at the driveshaft/differential. I got out the bolt, but had some collateral damage when I gouged the gas tank with my angle grinder (see photo below). It can be seen that I didn't puncture the gas tank, but would feel better reinforcing/patching it. I found three ways to do this, and would appreciate thoughts on their effectiveness or alternatives to the methods below.
1. Fiberglass patch kit
2. JB Weld
3. Poly tubing / heat gun, although some report that this is not always successful.
