with the plasti welding, you wont spend a dime if you have a soldering iron. The product is already there....just cracked....melt it back together, or if you feel you need more....grab a bottle cap or some scrap plastic.
That doesn't fix the rubber bushing in the bottom of the tank that goes bad all the time from sitting. It's like a rubber grommet that pushes into a hole in the tank, then a plastic fitting slips into that grommet. So all it takes is either the ID of the grommet to shrink a bit, or the OD to shrink a bit. Either one, and the gas just runs right out of it. Just a bad design IMO. With nothing to lose by trying, if my bushing/grommet isn't leaking at this time, I'll try that soldering iron trick and melt the crack back together.
