Best wishes, and hope that works well for you. I'm
predicting the glue to dry out in about five years, and
you'll have to do it again.

I should have thought of that, especially since I have a
roll in the
attic. I cut a length long enough to go around everything,
then slit it
into thirds, each about 3/4" wide. I propped the tank on
wood blocks,
then wrapped it three times. Here are the results:

Next week after a hour of lawn-cutting, we'll see how well
it holds up
to vibration. If it doesn't, Joe's excellent idea for the
daisy-chaining
zip ties is next.

Thanks to all.
