Tig or mig ?

I will not build a new fuel cell. My plan is to modify sump/ baffle the original tank of steel....

I'm sorry, I thought I read that it was aluminum... still, a steel fuel cell 0.0026 inches thick? That's crazy. It's no wonder you had leaking issues.

Most guys here use 16-18 gauge for steel fuel cells (usually stainless) and 14 or better for aluminum.

I really can't recommend much for you. I don't think I've ever welded anything that thin. I mean that sounds like tinfoil. Are you sure you measured right? Are you sure it isn't 8mm?
