After reading the horror stories I'm wondering whether to seal my tank or not. I have a pinhole starting and don't want to ruin the paintwork by brazing.

Personally I wouldn't rely on sealer alone to seal a pin hole
I'd want it dipped, welded then sealed
I've seen tanks you could stick your finger through that just looked like a few pin holes.
I know it's your choice but a massive fuel leak ain't funny
You could plug the hole with putty, deox C it then have a good prod around to check for weak bits

Hi, I’m not sure there’s any easy way out, but I have avoided tank sealant. It cost me some paintwork, but I can live with it. I lead welded with proper plumber’s lead. And years on still holding.

IF your tank even seeps.. the Paintwork is definitely 'disposable'.
Strip it ALL off then examine it.. Closely.
Sometimes a skilled Old School Panel beater can lead fill the damaged areas for a V good quality repair.
Trick being to find an Old school body worker.. these days.
