Replace it, patch repairs are not reliable.

What year and trim level is your Civic?

A new tank is $300 a used one is between $30-$100 depending on where you get it...

A gas tank is not that hard to change. 94

welding and gasoline usually don't go together, even if its just fumes

if you want to weld a patch onto the current gas tank you have make sure you clean it out and dry it out so that there is no gas OR water in the tank before welding

If you're good at welding it should not be an issue at all, I would trust a patch
