I wonder if JB Weld can fix this. I guess only one way to find out.

      If the busted piece wasn’t the mounting bolt for the tank I think it would work fine to just seal it up. Just not sure how it’s going to handle holding the tank up with all the vibration etc. it has to deal with.

      I found (I think) a replacement tank online for fifty bucks, but I’ll try the epoxy first… nothing to lose at this point lol.

        epoxy

        Near benzin? Read something about how well it is solvable in hydrocarbons. I’m afraid that might not work. But I don’t actually know, just a hunch.

          I have no idea, but I guess I’m about to find out. I cleaned up the edges and put some JB weld on there, now just have to wait until this evening to see if my farmer fix is going to work, or end up finding a new tank.
