HDPE can also be repaired with various epoxies. Neat tip in this video about heating the repair area until water does not bead on it

I use Miller-Stephenson 907 epoxy on tanks, works well - even better with the heat/water trick. Just did a Tecumseh 5hp tank that something chewed a hole in last summer, patched over with another piece of HDPE.

And to think I was dumb enough to plow my street on my Wheel Horse 414. Seeing these "Toys" I'm going to register a complaint with Santa Claus!

Thanks for informative link! I never knew about that water bead test! Does that stuff have a shelf-life? I get the retail syringes of five-minute gel, after a few months the resin goes solid in the tube. I also have West System epoxy, the hardener turns dark brown after a while, but still works. 5200 caulk works great, but what a long cure time.

M-S 907 package says "shelf life minimum 1 year @ 77degF" - my 6+ year old tubes of it still work. Worst part of it is you have to mix it for 3 minutes

Took a pic of the gas tank as long as I was at it today. Busted shear pin three times-- it's a gravel driveway. Stones wedge between the tine and the housing on one side only, must have something to do with the clearance.

I walk by that 18 times a month, no wait double that 36 times! They used to sell the snowblowers at the auction there but haven't seen them in a while. Some worked, some were basket cases, some only needed 1 part.
