You can buy some repair paste/filler/adhesive specifically for fuel tanks. In the UK one option is "Petro Patch". I have used it successfully on metal fuel tanks.
I would not be too confident about replacing a screw in the same place though... Maybe build up plenty of repair paste and use a shorter screw? Maybe something like this... https://www.repairingproducts.co.uk/...nk-repair-kit/

You need something that will stick to the tank plastic. I would also rough it up a bit with Dremel tool or knife to give the glue a better chance of sticking.
There is one on ebay for $90. https://www.ebay.com/itm/11510861704...wAAOSwoNJhnUXM |

ok thanks. i let it dry and put some fuel on the tank and dont come out. i think epoxy glute covered the hole.
tomorrow go for a little ride to make the final test. |
