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?? If the repair fails the gas leak is obvious--how do you think I
discovered the leak in the first place. Add one more year to the repair
as I'm now completing the third season since I repaired the tank.
Getting a replacement tank wasn't a good option, no having to get rid of
the mower as a result
Too bad you didn't have better advice to offer instead of looking down
your nose.

Laconic, maybe, but he is right. After I had to replace my Lawnboy
tank, I never store it full anymore. They had recommended that when
they gave out their extended warranty.
