keep the tank, try to repair it and you still have it original !
my way;
when you have a pin hole, clean the surface, take a small hammer, smash a very little dent in it,
take your torch and a small drop of tin fills the dent with the pin hole
work your way through the entire tank and a piece of sandpaper does the rest.
if it not works, remove the top of the tank and repair it from the inside
after you clean it with a sandblaster
good luck
I can tell you ….it works ! ( experience )

Kees, I suppose denting in the pin hole would save time sanding down the solder later on.
Good idea.
Is there a lip on the sidewalls that the top of the tank fits into?
What’s the best procedure to remove the top? Start heating the seam
near the filler cap so one has something to pull on, then just heat and
work your way around the top?
Thanks.
