what kind of resin?
DanG:
Maybe look into R/C Model paints?
There are other brands of same technology sealant - The degreaser and zinc etching is optional - that smallest size can of sealer is the magic...
Remember modern gasoline is a cocktail of refinery left-overs: Naphthas, benzene, toluene, xylene, alcohols, ethers, butane, and pentanes, any one of which might poison an otherwise good resin. The effort to re-do the project and chance of carburetor damage would lead me back to the expensive stuff.

it might be a way to burn my shop down but i was considering a way of heating some polyethylene to a liquid state on my wood stove and then pouring that in and swirling it around. letting it harden up. since the pin holes are on the bottom of the tank perhaps just depositing a layer of plastic chips in the tank and then heating the whole thing up on the stove might seal the pinholes up .

You actually do need all the stuff that comes in the prep kits and if you don't use them there's a good chance the epoxy won't adhere to the metal. A pint of epoxy will go a long way, though.
What model briggs is it?
