Yes, it can be fixed without welding. But if there are other holes waiting to break out (due to rust or corrosion) then it is a temporary fix.

Araldite is a brand of adhesives. Probably he means the Araldite two-part expoxy.

They use it to hold up the Sydney Opera House so I reckon it would work for a fuel tank.

Another tried and proven temporary fix is to get a cake of soap and rub it on the leak. Not the whole cake obviously, just enough to cover the leak/hole.
