    I've only done that on a metal motorcycle tank, long ago, with some sort of epoxy mix. There are plenty of epoxies out there suitable for plastic tanks, but I would replace the tank if I were you, esp if age caused the hole.

    You could run a heat gun around the hole and melt the plastic smudge it all in. Try not to ignite the petrol.
