They have a product that is called plastic weld.  Some hardware stores carry it.  It works pretty good.

that's a big farkin hole man. I'd get a new tank cause really it's not worth the pain in the arse cause it'll probably start leaking again anyways. I just ordered a tank from http://www.justgastanks.com along with a petcock and gasket kit. I gave specific instructions and they we're very quick to get back to me and inform me of everything I needed to know. I'd also get a rear fender cause it really sucks riding without one.Specially if it's wet OMG
