[QUOTE="Yamamoto, post: 176710, member: 22578"] [b]First off[/b] J-B weld does not flex!!!!! I Have fixed an old tank on a 83 yz125 and what I did was obtain an old piece plastic like an old side cover or fender, well heck you can even just take a piece off the rear fender to use. Take the tank off and CLEAN it good wash out and fuel! Now focus on the crack and clean it with alachol, after it dries heat up a butter knife or any sharp blade that will fit in the crack. duct tape may come in handy to avoid your hands getting burned by wraping the handle. Take the piece of plastic and melt it very slowly in a (shhhh dont tell my wife) very large spoon or ladle, now with the crack clean and pre melted to assure that there are no oil residues left in the cracked area you can then (this takes two people) at the same time reheat the crack and pour the melted plastic into it using the HOT butter knife to apply pressure to the cracked area. The hot butter knive will help bond the two plastics together. I reccomend using two knive so that you will have a hot knife ready if you need it. oops I fixed a 94 YZ125 using 83 yz125 plastic.
