Silver solder and a torch. Well, maybe not. JB Weld, but if it's a
"project" you shouldn't be "patching it up quick" anyway. It will have
to be done at some point anyway and IF you determine it is the tube and
not the hose leaking, you should remove and drain the tank, dry it
thoroughly and solder/braise the fitting properly.
