It is a Polyethylene plastic fuel tank leaking at the seam and I am told absolutely nothing will stick to it. I saw a post by a plastic welder that said it is almost impossible to plastic weld as well. He did suggest trying to weld using some polyethylene from scrap but success was unlikely. I think the fuel tanks were subject to a recall by Briggs and Stratton many years ago but I think their generosity has expired by now. So, any suggestions as to how to fix them as I seem to come across a few like this - I have two here now. I have tried 2 part epoxy but it peels off soon after the petrol is added. Can last a week or two if lucky. Hot melt glue also peels off after use. Various glues, araldite, muffler putty, gasket glue etc.
I was thinking of this stuff from "Supercheap" - DynaGrip Plastic Tank Repair Kit (
Plastic tank repair)
Have any of you guys successfully repaired these tanks and what did you use?
