Hi. I am so sorry this happened to you. An experienced machine shop that can weld could repair this, but it probably wouldn't be cheap. Just a thought: If you could remove the broken stud it may be possible to epoxy a new stud in place. You could braze a fender washer beneath the head of the bolt to give it more surface area for the epoxy to bond to. Insert the bolt with the fender washer through the opening in the removed fuel pump (inside the tank). I believe the epoxy will resist the torque from tightening the bolt, and the bolt should tighten down securely. It would be a tricky repair, but it you're looking to save $. You could always have the paint shop buy you a new tank. Good luck.
