would rtv siliconne sealant work ? or gasket seal ? i used to stick a series mini engines together with rtv to stop the bl design (seive) leaking

presume whatever you seal it with needs to be oil resistant hylomar gasket seal sounds best to me how bigs your wet patch ?

Personally I would persist with the welding - or put the sealant on the outside. It only takes a small bit of sealant to black the pump. The garage down the road from me got a really nice wedge TVR cheap becuase it ran roughly. Previous owner had spent £800 at a TVR specialist trying to get it fixed but gave up. New owner decided to fit a new fuel pump. On taking the old one out of the tank he found it had been fitted with copious amounts of sealant - which had squeezed into the tank and blocked the fuel line. Tank clean out and blow through the fuel lines and runs like a dream now - even made the Le Mans classics and back in one piece - impressive for a TVR

If you get stuck David bring the sump in here on Saturday when you come for your scuttle, we will give it a try on the mig on 3 phase - should give a smoother more continuous seam.
