i am going to try tank weld and after it cures i will coat it and surroundinf areas with th plastic bond. hopefeully the two together will work. may even do tank weld, tape, then plastic weld coating,,,,,
I tried re-melting it but it broke through again. It is a lawn boy. Expensive mower. I am not yet sure it is worth fixing. It has a commercial engine that is very powerful.
The question will be after U add gas, with the gasoline, being a solvent eat thru the epoxy, and U get leaks? That is part 2. So far looks good, can u make the part 2 after U added gasoline to the tank and left it over night, upside down, so the gasoline makes contact to the epoxy crack repair? Thanks
The type of plastic these tanks are made of makes it very difficult to repair. Time is money and if you could find one for $20.00 that would be the best way to go.
Well i broke the plastic piece that holds the pin for the float and needle inside in the carb unfortunately its on a high dollar generator I got for trade and the carburetor is terribly expensive. Think it would work? I'm hesitant because it will be inside the carburater bowl soaked in fuel
OK so time + 4 bucks plus the gas you put into it only to find out it didn't fix. Now the repair is the cost of a new tank plus 4 bucks and the time of trying to repair. Bruh I could have told ya nothing but yeeting that in the phucket bucket and buying a new one, was your only option from the get go. I mean I can appreciate you doing the review, and making a repair video but that tank was gone before you started.
Yeah bruh, it’s an experiment just to try. It didn’t work, but now I know. Tank was one of those oldies, no real choice but to try and repair. All good!
@@MowersNBlowers well I'll give your channel a few more goes, again wasn't trying to hate. I feel like at least your making content, I CAN APPRECIATE THAT. Also doing product reviews that's awesome as well. My point maybe made a little to strong, was tank was done before ya started. Have a good one. Keep on making videos.
that kind of crack i would recomend sauldering the plastic, then coat it.

Do you think the weld for gas tanks would have worked better. I am in the same situation, but the replacement tank is 100 dollars.
No I haven’t found anything that will sustain the repair long term, gas gets through everything

No need, it didn’t work! Leaked like crazy
If it leaked why still publish it as if its a good idea to do on fuel tanks??

Yeah for sure, it was just an experiment. It didn’t work.
Did it hold fuel that's my question?
No, it eventually leaked, but that’s because the tank itself was rotting.

@@wyelandlebeouf7202 DID YOU TRY JB WELD PLASTIC BOND? IF SO HOW DID IT WORK?
Did it hold gas?
For a few hours, then gas saturated and leaked!
I could see trying it on a small crack but that thing was split all around the top
billie wright it worked
You didn't clean the surface first.
Does it hold up to the gasoline?
So far so good
sometimes new is good
When you can find it new. This gas tank is obsolete and 30 yrs old.
