Small propane torch, acid core solder, flux.. Not too much heat, heat the metal and feed solder to it, must be spotless clean, be careful you dont make the tank come loose somewhere else by gettin it too hot

I know the young kid that has my truck still runs it that way and it was  probably 8 years ago that I JB welded it...he loves the truck and doesn't have any problems

i f'd up when i did it first time because radiator was warm and i put it on then coolant leaked threw and it screwed up then next day i went out when it was cold and did it let it sit for day and drove it from then on
