Is there anything out there that is good for patching a very small hole in the plastic gas tank in a TJ ?

Depending on the size of the hole, rub a bar of handsoap over it.....it's always worked for me in the past!

An old-time and temporary metal gas tank fix was to put a rubber faucet washer onto a self-tapping, pan-head sheet metal screw. Then, run the screw w/washer into the hole in the gas tank.
I stressed the word "temporary" above, because after a couple of weeks, a common rubber faucet washer would succumb to the effects of gasoline.
(Amazing how quickly a dripping gas tank will create a hole in a black-topped driveway.)
As a more permanent fix on a plastic tank, Snitty nailed it.

RE: Thinking of Buying another 4x4
I have a plastic 20 gallon 92 YJ Gas tank - its fine. No Leaks.
I bought a rolling chassis for my resto. and it came with the tank. I need to get rid of it, I was going to cut it up...
If you want it -- you pay to get it packaged and shipped to your home and its yours.
