The first thing to do is install the 1931 steering column support like Ford used. They are available from the vendors. I make a RHD version and I've seen cases where simply installing the bracket was enough to stop the leak. Others have used an epoxy putty applied to a thoroughly cleaned underside of the tank and got a seal. The worst cases had to use a sealer. There are plenty of those and I'd advise not skimping when making your selection and following the manufacurer's instructions carefully. There are plenty of sealers that are alcohol proof and if applied properly, won't come adrift
