In the past I have used an epoxy resin available here in U.K trade name - - ARALDITE with complete success. repairs to a fuel tank lasted for the remainder of the life of the car.

If this brand is not available in Sweden, and there is no alternative you may be able to get it direct from the company website.

Have used both of the above in the past with great results another good product to look for is plastic padding its a paste with a hardener similar to body filler had good results with this also ;)

My dad used to swear by Lilliput. He used to use it to fix everything even a hammer head back onto the wooden shaft and it is still working fine and my old man has been dead for 13 years!! Shows it works well.............

Plastic Padding leak fix has always worked for me on fuel tanks.
