A friend got "horned " one night, and we stopped it with clear silicone caulk, tipped the car to get the fuel away from the hole, let it evaporate dry, said a few words, let the silicone wax over, and made it through the night, nothing leaked. Next day I put some alcohol in a bottle, put some silicone on a piece of aluminum welding rod, dropped it wet in the bottle, lid on the bottle, and so help me they are still like that, and that's been at least 10 years ago. The silicone set up on the rod in the bottle!
