I have done a bunch of welding and tank repair in the past. I have never had much luck brazing, but I do know it works. The way I was taught was to drain the tank, then fill it with water. When I do a bunch of welding near a tank I have them fill it and then put wet rags around the filler neck, evap tanks, and sending units.
The best luck I ever had out of a patched tank was on liz's yamaha motorcycle. I used regular JB weld on a bunch of spots. Lasted several years, the guy who ownes it now said he has only had to patch it once.
I made my tank that is in my eb, it wont ever rust (14G sheet metal), but I did take the time to seal it with a tank sealer from eastwood. If you could put the patch on and then put the tank sealer in it I bet that would fix it. The sealer is around $30-$50.
