NAPA didn't have the 3M bumper repair epoxy. They sent me to the auto body supplies place and the guy there recommended this PC7 junk.
Where can you get the 3M stuff? Any major retailers carry it?
If I don't have it fixed by thursday evening, the brand new black OEM tank is going on...

I think I'm going to strip another one on the junk tank on purpose so I can test Old Faithful (JB Weld).

ha ha yeah..
But really how would it not work? Say for some reason it doesnt stick to the plastic and only to the metal.. as long as you fill the hole.. it isnt going to spin anymore... probably solved... I am pretty sure it will stick to the plastic though . but incase it doesn't make sure you pack the jb in the hole good.

Got the holeshot
get some marine tex...I used it to fix my headlight case on my 250r. I tacked all of the plastic together with some worthless super glue. then used the marine tex over all of the tacked spots, sanded it all smooth after it was dry, painted it and it looks great.
Marine tex will bond to anything. The best part is that you can sand it afterwards if needed. I really think its the way to go. Its cheap at like 13 bucks for a good amount.
Ive used it on the headlight shell, on my worn rear axle on my 200s to keep the hubs nice and tight, and to fix a pinhole in my pipe on my 250r. Its really great stuff.

Well, if it bonds to the metal and not the plastic, it's essentially just making that square metal piece into a round metal piece if you think about it. The hole in the tank that used to be square is more or less round now so there's nothing for it to catch on. I'd like to get it right on the first try because if whatever I use does not work, I'd have to get it all out before trying something else.Originally Posted by short4stuff

Just go to walmart and get you some plastic weld. It's a two part epoxy in a syringe. Located in hardware with the other epoxies and glues.

The PC7 and JB Weld failed miserably on the test tank.

seriously, try marine tex.
Im positive itll work. If it can hold my headlight shell together like its brand new, it can hold that stupid little nut in there.

Always finding new and exciting ways to not give a hoot in hell
Catch me if you can
Theres a certain type of Loctite brand clear super glue, cant remember the name of it but check around. Tiny bottle is about $10, but it'll hold like 8-9k psi and it DOES stick to plastic. I know, I've used it before.

I would try a plastic welder. Pull the nut out of the hole, clean the hole up, then weld the nut back in.

Here's an idea. Screw that old tank!
Out with the old. In with the new.
