For fuel contact, you’ll want to go with JB Weld Professional Steel Reinforced Epoxy. It’s formulated to resist gasoline, oil, diesel, water, and hydraulic fluid—making it a solid pick for automotive or small engine repairs.
Although further down it talks about not holding up to vibrations but your strap it in place idea should take care of fhat.
Cool, thanks for the link. I’ve been looking at replacement tanks and the Briggs site says they don’t make parts for it anymore, but I may have found something that’ll work if my idea doesn’t pan out. But I’ve got nothing to lose so I’m going to try this first.
I would personally go for a replacement tank or proper weld as a long term fix if possible because anything short of welding is likely to crack and allow liquid to keep out as it vibrates. Especially with the mounting being the part that broke, that will put a lot of strain on the repair even with the extra support.
Some types apparently can!
