those petseal type products are ok for cars but i'd look into having it repaired properly the last thing you want is a fuel leak on a motorbike as unlike cars our tanks are on top of the engine and above the exhaust and spark plugs

If its a steel tank, surely the best option would be to have it welded !!
Probably a patch welded over the crack but you will need a skilled welder as the skins are very thin on tanks.. Whatever you do though, the tank needs to be drained and thoroughly flushed before welding !

Fuel tank leak
Try J.B.Weld. It will hold up to gas and is very hard after it sets. A gas leak above any engine is not a good thing! Welding would be the best solution. Good Luck!
