of a car radiator). Mine has a crack which I want to fix using some
sort of epoxy or JB Weld, but some plastics can not be glued. I'm not
sure how to determine what type of plastic this is????


It looks like HDPE




For some reason I'm not seeing the original post in this thread.

Automotive plastics like fan shrouds are often ABS. Sometimes it says so
somewhere on the part..


Most plastic parts now have a code or molded in letters spelling out
what type of plastic was used in its manufacture to facilitate
recycling. It's even on milk jugs. I suppose the OP can find the label
that can show what type of plastic it is then look it up online. ^_^
