Heat up a soldering iron and run it along the crack, make sure not to poke thru though you just want it to melt the outer plastic....

i started another tank on fire.lol and driped the hot plastic over the crack think that will work

Ponch · (#5 (**permalink**))

Probably not, but now that you got the extra plastic on there, I would run the soldering iron over the crack.

dont try to fix it....thats ghetto!!

a new tank is $15-$20 tops

some of you guys crack me up....shoe goo will only hold up untill the nitro eats through it which is usually sooner than u can run through 1 gal.

if you melt it with iron, you will just be creating a thin brittle area that will re-crack with any sort of impact.

and setting another fuel tank on fire to drip over another one has got to be...
THE DUMBEST THING IVE EVER HEARD!!
