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...

How big is the crack in the tank? Can you just run it and deal with a little spillage or is it pouring out? I think of all things, silicone sealant would work best. Its good enough to seal engines right?

ANY SORT OF CRACK IS NO GOOD....

once the fuel level drops below the crack it leans the engine out becaus it starts sucking air!!!
