Any way to seal this crack?

(1/3) > >>

GDubb:
I bought this tank that was supposed to be in "really great shape" and later found this crack in it. Is there ANY way possible to seal it? It goes a full 180* around the filler neck. Other than this d**n crack, the tank was gorgeous... almost brand new looking so it would sure be a sad shame if I didnt get to run it and am just out the money.

Mick:
Somebody really tightened the piss out of that one  :-o

I don't think there's a pretty way to fix that disaster waiting to happen.

GDubb:
I figured as much but figured I'd ask in case there was some magic trick I was unaware of. I really thought I had scored when I bought this tank. It looked brand new... then I went to put fuel in it just to find out that I gave somebody $120 for a shiny piece of garbage. You gotta beware of who you buy things from, even around here. Looks like Clarke is gonna get a couple hundred bucks outta me too.
Too bad... it was almost perfect...

Texas Champ.:
Empty the fuel , and use a soldering gun to melt the crack closed....Clarke gave me the idea when my boys YZ -80 tank did the same thing in the same area...it worked well. I also understand that there is a "plastic welder" on the market...Kerry

kaw rider:
yeah, that plastic welder epoxy is something else. strong as fu@*.
