Thanks everyone for all the info. Well when I got to the shop yesterday morning when they opened, the shop manager (who also does all the welding) was pulling up in his truck at the same time. He pulled my tank out of his truck and deemed it repaired. They installed it in about an hour and filled with fuel. NO LEAKS!! Apparently last Friday was quite a frustrating day for the shop and my tank but they refused to let the tank beat them. The manager took it home over the weekend and fixed it. The tank looked very good. I really don't know how to judge a weld but all the work he did looked very neat and clean. The tank looked nearly new all the way around. He charged me $300 to fix the leak. Something was leaking before the annual and now it is not (at least as far as I can tell, time will tell for sure). $300 seemed pretty good to me especially since the only quote I received was $3000 for a replacement tank from Owen Bell at Aviation Enterprises in TN.
Mark, when I get a chance, I will stop by. Thanks for your input.
