I have a small thin crack in my plastic fuel tank on my push mower. Would this hold up to the gas in the tank?

No it won't. Neither will regular JB Weld. I had a leak in my motorcycle gas tank and it ate right through it.

Nothing on the packaging states either way about it's interaction with liquids - gasoline nor anything else. As a guess, I think it wouldn't hold up. The original JB Weld glue might though; it's kind of like the gray liquid nails and can even be used on engine blocks.

If you didn't run it out of fuel before storing it the fuel could have gummed up in the carborator. Best to find a Briggs and Stratton service center near you

There is a built in measure on the bottle that is supposed to be good enough to stabilize 5-8 gallons. That will keep the gas stable for one year. You are then supposed to RE-treat the gas in subsequent years for up to a total of 5 years. They say on the bottle that if you add extra, it will not negatively impact the gas, but then you will run out of the Pri-G faster. Methinks it is best to use it as recommended on the bottle.

I don't think it would break, but it does bend easily under pressure. It only contacts the tank on the short sides, so there is not a lot holding it up. It doesn't contact the rim on the long sides so there is room for the filter or air lines. If you keep your tank full it would be easy for water to get on top of the cover.

Yes,and no. I just called Just Rite Man.at 1-800-798-9250 and spoke with Justin in cust. Service and he said not to store diesel fuel in the can for more then one year.The fuel will react with the galvanization in the can and contaminate the fuel and possibly damage an engine.Although he added,that this has not happened in the six years he has been with the company that he is aware of.I have a John deere tractor, and in the manual they suggest not using galvanized cans and only use plastic ones. John Deere is covering there butts I assume,because I have used the Just Rite yellow fuel cans for YEARS before I heard you should not store diesel fuel in them more one year and never had a problem,of corse NOW I will make sure I will use up the fuel by the end of the year.it's probably not a good idea to use diesel fuel that's more then one year old ANYWAY. Well that's the scoop from Just Rite themselves. I hope this is helpful.Fonzie.

Possibly, but it depends on the tank design. Assuming it's a gravity fed design, you'd be better off disconnecting the fuel line to drain it. Use something like this:Laguna Multi Hose Adapter, 1/4 to 1-Inch That will allow you to connect the short fuel line to a longer hose.Be prepared to deal with a varnished carburetor. Add something like B12 Chemtool to your new fuel. You may have to remove the carb and soak it in Chemtool or carb cleaner, or maybe even rebuild it.

It appears to be a standard vinyl tube, and I use it for a fountain I built. Not sure if it is suited for gasoline. I have a gasoline syphon to empty mowers, and I am sure that is designed for gasoline. Sorry.

Yes it would and may crack your tank, if someone or something puts any try of pressure on it, so i will recommend that you get a piece of plywood at lease quarter inch thick under your tank and thin the stand under the plywood, ok.

I probably wouldn't use this particular product for that application since liquid is involved. This stuff works great on some things but it dries very rigid and most plastic fuel tanks either flex somewhat or are exposed to vigorous vibrations. I had to repair a plastic fuel tank on my riding mower but instead of this, I used an epoxy that I bought at Walmart that was made for plastics and it worked great. Loctite made it I think.

Your owners manual should give you the model number of the fuel tank you're looking for. If you don't have it, go to MTDproducts.com or MTDparts.com and look up your mower model in the owners section. You should find what you need there. BTW, my replacement tank has lasted three years.

I do not know; but I know I drain hose of gas after I fill my mower-- back into tank. You can email seller and they will answer this for you

It's almost certainly polyethylene or, possibly, polypropylene. Paint isn't going to stick. It's typical of plastic fuel tanks. Best of all? Made in the USA (at least mine is)!

It shouldn't be too much, but yes, there is a moment when a tiny bit of gas may spray out when the stove pierces the valve on the fuel tank. For me, it's not more than a fraction of a second...maybe try screwing it in faster?

I use it with my propane burner outside so I'm sure gas would be just fine. Just don't run it out of water! Lol

Hello Nate,I did a little research on your mower and find that the fuel tank DOES fit your mower. I purchased my B&S; Fuel Tank here on Amazon (part number 699374, from Darnlow Prices)...$31.99 delivered. Fit perfectly. The problem with mine was a crack in the fuel tank itself. I traced the problem to the spacer between the tank and the engine and found the spacer to be too thick. I ground it down to the proper thickness, and haven't had any problems since then. Hope you have equally as good luck. A lot of folks are having the same problem with that tank, and it's all attributed to the thickness of the spacer.

I can't answer as after a year and half of use it got a crack in the tank & we disposed of ours. It worked great until then & I am not sure even what caused it to crack
