Gas Tank filler neck

My gas tank is leaking badly at the filler neck at the tank itself. What can I use to seal this up permanently? The best solution I know would be take the tank downtown and have someone re-weld it for me, but that means lifting the body and I would rather keep that as a last resort. Would JB Weld (or something similar) work?

There is a tank repair material available at NAPA that consists of some fiberglass material and some special resin that may work for that repair..

Seal All works pretty good. Used it on a hole in a tank and it lasted til I sold the car. Still good as far as I know.
