[QUOTE="Jon K., post: 124802, member: 22460"] Welding is the only option. Nothing, repeat [B]NOTHING[/B] will stick to the plastic. Ask yourself first, though, why is it cracked? Is it brittle for some reason? If so, consider the cost of a burned up motorcycle and maybe even an injury if the thing leaks during operation! You might pound on it with a fist or a fence post to see if it is just going to fall apart again. At a race once upon a time my wifes' tank spontaniously sprung a leak and I heated a coathanger to melt the crack back together by sort of stirring the plastic with the hot wire. She finished the race without exploding into a huge fireball. . . . We bought a new tank imediately. . . . don't really want to blow up the wife. . . . .er. . . well. . . not really !!! Glenncal, was that a plastic tank? I have used Creme on steel tanks with some success, but never tried it on plastic. I am skeptical. I bet a ski shop is hard to find in Brandon, Mississippi, but look in the yellow pages under "plastic" and you will probably find a listing for a specialty shop. [/QUOTE]
