Lawmart , my plastic tank on my garden tractor had a gromet with a metal elbow . If your tank has a plastic elbow or outlet then SEAL-ALL might fix it .

HDPE (High Density Poly Ethylene)is difficult to glue with anything. Plastic welds easy though...
 
Fixed a crack in the MS200 fuel tank with a soldering iron to carefully melt the plastic together that was cracked. I just feathered the element along the cracked portion of the tank. Then lightly sanded the area and used JB weld to cover it up. It has been about a year and it is holding fine with no leaks.
 
Hi Lawmart, Go to your local motorcycle shop and check out "Tank Cream" read and follow the instructions.This will seal anything,however, someone pulling/jerking on the fuel line down the road could open it up again.
 
yea putting the gas line back on the spigot might reopen it again,hence why it broke the first time i bet have to fire that guy,or quite but my wife always rehires me the next day
