I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Silver solder - just make sure the tank is completely empty of pertol fumes before you start wafting a torch anywhere near it.
Braze the hole closed. You could also try tank sealer, but that's a less reliable method.

I had the same problem, fortunately they holes were underneath, out of sight. I drained the tank down, sanded the area around each hole to bare metal then put on a layer of jb weld epoxy and let it sit for a day or two(tank open so it could cure from both sides) and that seems to have done the trick.

If you have One pin hole, you likely have more.
Check over the tank carfeuly, inch by inch, look for paint bubbles or blisters.
