Never had to deal with a leaking Model A tank, but I have had good success sealing motorcycle and quad tanks with solder. I use a large electric soldering iron with an acid flux and good old fashioned lead/tin solder.
I am very lazy when it comes to cleaning up the site before soldering, just clean it up with a wire brush in an electric drill. But I have never had to redo a fix.
To avoid the one time boom Mr. Chauvin mentioned, never use a flame and in a very dry location, ground the tank and iron.
