Will, I've never tried to patch diesel tanks but have had good luck
patching two gas tanks on IH trucks with JB weld. Just pinhole leaks in
the bottom of the tank. I first cleaned it up good, turned in the
smallest sheet metal screw I could find and then plastered a good layer
of JB weld on it. I believe it was in the cold weather too because I had
to leave a trouble light right near the patch while it cured and dried.
That was quite a few years ago and its still working.
Ralph in Sask.
