Welding Plastic Fuel tank
Did I see someone welded their plastic fuel tank on this forum? Trying to help someone on the Cummins forum 1st gen section. Can't find it. Was in the last few months.

My neighbor tried to weld a big plastic water/chem tank. Spent a lot on a kit. He's generally pretty handy but it didn't work for him. Not sure of the details as I wasn't there. But like Oliver said, if it's already leaking, then what's to lose other than his time and whatever the kit costs.
Good luck & let us know how it turns out.

Well, my stupid smart phone won’t let me post a pic of it but I use J—B weld 50139 plastic bonder. I get it on Amazon. It is sand able and paintable and use it to repair unobtainable plastic and rubber pieces on my ‘68 Toronado. When it dries it seems as strong as any plastic…Mark I am not sure if it is compatible with gasoline, but I would be surprised if it isn’t.
