I just tried sticking it in with Superglue. It formed an incredibly
strong joint (much stronger than Araldite did). I just hope that the
2-stroke fuel won't weaken it.

Not unless it containsn nitromethane or acetone.


I'm not sure what superglue contains apart from cynoacrylate...

However CA comes in polythene bottles and its easy to break the dried
stuff away from it.


I don't really know which plastic the petcock and the fuel tank are
made of. Anyway, the superglue made teh two stick together like s***
to a blanket. Touch wood, my problems are solved!
