Default Which adhesive for (polypropelene?) 2-stroke fuel tank?

Advice please... I need to stick a plastic fuel tap into the hole in
the bottom of a plastic 2-stroke fuel tank (the tank looks like
polypropelene) on an outboard motor. The fuel tap was originally a
screw-in job but a previous owner stripped the threads. I used
Araldite last time, but it didn't hold very well.

What adhesive should I try next? Superglue? I also have some Golden
Hermatite. Perhaps that would work...


Loctite Plastix is supposed to bond all plastics. I tried it on a very small
part, but that didn't work. It might be OK on a relatively large item. Of
course, 100% cleanliness is a must.

Thank you.
