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.


I have no idea if it will work on your gas tank but I've fixed various types
of white/translucent plastic containers with molten nylon smeared onto and
in the broken area. *I just light a piece of 1/4" nylon rope and push the
melted end around on the area to be repaired.

That is an interesting and cheap way to fix things. Once I was doing
that for fun when was maybe 10, I remember a big lump melting on my
hand and hurt for months.
