Default Plastic gas tank

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.

Hi,
If replacement tank is not available I'd try that kinda repair.
