I have a white plastic gas tank on a snowblower that cracked, will any
glue, sealer, bond, maybe an automotove silicone sealer? My "quality"
John Deer gas tank was attached with a simple Pipe Clamp the type you
tighten with a screwdriver. I have heard nothing bonds to this type of
white plastic.
You heard right. Buy a new tank.
That HDP plastic has VERY low surface energy. It will behave as if it
is impregnated with oil. If you find someting that will adhere to a
surface covered with oil, you can glue it. Otherwise, replacement is
mandatory.
