Post by MikeHarv »

I cracked my 30 year old IT 490 tank on an tree branch...the branch happened to be on the ground....and am looking for a replacement while my new one comes up from the US.

A piece of old rag and Seal-All does wonders!

I am currently trying JB Weld's plastic tank repair.... I'll give it a look in the morning. BUT I also bought a tube of my old standby Seal All. I used to always ride with a tube in the tool kit....now it is back with Gorilla Tape, tie wire, a plug, a few misc. bolts, etc.

Thanks for the link Steve....I'm ordering a new tank but don't want to miss a ride on Wednesday and should have an ugly but strong repair figured out by then!

Plastic repair didn't work but a Seal All/Gorilla Tape/Seal All lasagna worked a treat!
