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.

Aside from replacement as the best option---I repaired a plastic lawn mower
tank that was cracked and leaking by using epoxy. The epoxy that I used was
the solid ribbon type and you mixed two colors together. It's been two
seasons and the repair has held up.

I trust you store this machine outside and away from all buildings...

Why? Epoxy glues are labeled specifically for use as sealants for
plastic gasoline containers. For example:
