[SEL] Little O.T. Gas Tank Problem

[Orrin Iseminger]

Epoxy might not stick to the type of plastic that the tank is made of.  By
the time you've experimented and found the right type of adhesive, you'll
have more money invested in glue (to say nothing of $3.00/gallon running
around finding it) than the cost of a new tank.  Just bite the bullet and
buy a new tank. 

My 2¢

So many projects.  So little time.

Thanks Bill, my sister said that the upper part snapped to the lower part 
and there some kind of sealant on the edge of the two halves. Taking it all 
apartment and using epoxy my be the trick.

Thanks,

Paul
