cafoose 3,360 #1 Posted July 9, 2023 Does anyone know how I can fix this? It's not leaking at the moment but it may start leaking soon. @19richie66 got any of those awesome metal GT-14 tanks for sale? If not, how much do you want to make me one? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would be surprised though at how thick that tank is. You could fill in the cracks with plastic weld and sand it back down. A soldering iron with a flat tip and some good zip ties would do it.

oliver2-44 10,075 #3 Posted July 9, 2023 I recently bought a $20 plastic welded from harbor fright. One of the keys if figuring out what type of plastic it is. I practiced on various pieces of scrap plastic. Cleaned plastic oil bottles of the "right color plastic" worked well. I repaired a plastic tank for a Charger. I found the "red plastic" measuring cup that came with some laundry product worked. It said HDPE on it . it's not the best, but it doesnt leak. The plastic roods that came with the welded also worked on the tank, just not the right color. And a Hood for a JD mower. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon Paulsen 291 #7 Posted July 9, 2023 Looks like a better kit. The stainless steel mesh helps a lot for strength. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
