Now I won't avoid leaky tanks on eBay/Craigslist.

Will this do the trick?

Is it the right size?
That looks like what I have, the point is spring loaded, just centerpunch the spot weld and the point will set in the punch mark. go slow and steady so that the spotweld cutter doesn't jump out of the punch mark, and don't cut too deep or you'll have more holes to fix. The hole saw part is threaded onto the point so if you break the teeth, you can unscrew it, turn it around and have new saw teeth. you can also buy new hole saws to screw onto the point.
