Thanks Guys, I heard about the welder and I'm glad to hear how it works because I was wondering about that. However, I agree that the gas tank cannot be welded. I also agree with the idea of using some sealant, mostly to hold the screw from vibrating loose, but I was pressed for time and there is no leaking so I went without for now.

I am looking for advice on what to use. Gasoline disolves a lot of materials so I want to use something appropriate for this application.

As for the screw, I should have been clearer, when I first got the deck off, I put that on there to test the idea of plugging the leak and to give me the chance to look for other leaks. For the actual fix, I used one of the shorter stainless screws, with a flat heat that would sit flush against the tank. Sorry I didn't get a photo of that or of the hole I drilled in the underside of the deck.
