How to repair a leaking fuel tank?

Hi all,

My 1984 K100 has been up and running for a month or more now - after finally getting it registered in the UK. It's running well, but there is a small leak from the fuel tank (front bottom left-hand side before the lower seam).

This is a leak that had been repaired before.

Should I repair this from inside or out?

What is the best method/material for the job?

Will
