Default Fuel Tank Leak

My 95 blazer has a seeping fuel leak on the bottom in the middle of the tank does anyone know of a permanet fix or must the tank be switched out. If the tank must be switched out what is the best spray lubricant for the high pressure fuel line fitting they are threaded like brake line. and a bit rusty?.

The have stuff to fix plastic gas tanks at the parts store. You don't even have to empty the tank.

the 95's came with steel tanks, and yes, if its leaking you have to replace the tank. the best penetrating oil i found that works great is PB Blaster, that stuff does wonders on rusted fittings and bolts! ( http://www.expeditionexchange.com/bl...r003%20027.jpg )

Thanks to both of you changing the tank is the first thing i thought of. but the idea of something that might stop the leak since it is only a seaper. no gas goes on ground it is that light of a leak. but you wipe it and wait maybe a sec, and you will see it appear
