[SEL] Little O.T. Gas Tank Problem

[Bill Brueck]

Paul, I'd either get another tank, or see if you can split it the rest of
the way apart and then use epoxy to put it back together.  There are sealers
available, but from what you describe I'd be afraid there would be movement
of the parts and the seal wouldn't stay.

Subject: [SEL] Little O.T. Gas Tank Problem

Folks I got a call from my baby sister today telling me that the plastic gas
tank on her Sear's riding mower had come apart at the seam in the middle
where the upper half is joined to the lower half. There is just a small
place where the seam has let go. If she fills the tank past half full then
gas runs out the side of the tank and is dangerous.

Is there something that I cam recommend that she can get at the local
automotive parts store that she can use to seal up the area where the tank
has separated?

Thanks,

Paul
