Default leaking gas tank at steering column bracket

Hi Model A friends,

May I address the community with a question about a repair of a leaking gas tank.

It is about my 1930 Fordor Town Sedan Deluxe, RHD. There is a slight leak at the gas tank at the steering column bracket, welded to the gas tank, fuel is not dropping, but smell is disturbing and my wife does not join me on trips because of that. The steering column has a second bracket, possible retrofit and that holds the steering column in place.

I don't want to remove the gas tank by now, it is a too massive operation and I am considering to use a liquid metal to seal the presumable leak from outside, around the welded bracket.

Is there someone, who tried to repair a leak by this way and how are the experiences after the repair?

Any thoughts are highly welcome, many thanks in advance
Best Greetings from Vienna-Austria, Albert
