When it comes to fuel leaks in a Model A, the only solution for safety is to fix it right! And that requires removing the tank, and taking it to a radiator shop or some place similar and getting the tank rust cleaned out, and have a pro review if the tank is repairable. Once that is established, ya gotta do what ya gotta do to be safe. Gasoline is dangerous stuff.
Here locally, there is a radiator repair shop in Springfield, Mo that will take Model A gas tanks and repair them and coat the inside to stop the rusting. Have not had to do it yet, but if I do, that will be the avenue I take on fixing a fuel tank leak.
