I repaired a 100 gallon Compressor tank about 5 years ago. Go get a small self threading bolt or fine threaded sheet metal screw. Enlarge the hole enough to start the screw. Put some sealant on the threads of the screw and thread it in. The metal in that area is usually very thin from internal rusting an very difficult to weld.

I did have one that I put about 3 layers of fiber class about 1 or 1.5 " square over the hole and threaded in the bolt through the fiberglass and in the hole while the epoxy was still wet.

A screw with JB weld might also be effective.
