hey guys (and gals), Has anyone had any luck repairing plastic fuel tanks? we punctured one a while back (drove a piece of 2x2inch steel through it)on our CaseIH 5240. We took the tank off and took it to our local rad shop who can "weld" plastic, they patched over the holes, but told us that it wouldn"t hold pressure, but as we needed the tractor right away, we too the tank home and put it back on the tractor (apparently according to Case there was no tank in North America at the time, plus they wanted over $1000 for it). Ever since the tank has weeped fuel from around the patch, it"s fine if the tank is less than half full, but leave the tractor with a full tank and come back three days later and half the tank is on the floor, and that no good for anybody... Just wondered if anyone knew of any sealant that could be put into the tank or applied around the patch to help the problem, the few sealants that i"ve seen seam to be for metal tanks only. Thanks for the help all.
