I have never tried to repair a plastic gas tank, but I bought an old 1981 Troy Bilt that someone has tried repairing the tank with silicone and it is coming loose. I have no idea how long ago the repair was made but I will be trying to repair it in the future with something else. I have had pretty good luck using E600, Goo or maybe goop, I have also used a product called "through the roof". But none of these repairs have been made on a gas can. I often use some type of webbing like fiberglass or dental floss embedded in the glue. I have a plastic mirror mount on my pickup that was broken several years ago and it is still holding. The E6000 and goo or goop both can be found at walmart, the through the roof product I buy at ace hardware.

I just wanted to post MY CRAFTSMAN HORROR STORY HERE....I bought a 15 1/2 horsepower 42 in cut from sears about 7 years ago,the first problem was probably the second mowing, i hit an apple mowing under an apple tree and it bent 1 of the blades lol.Next thing was the screws kept comming loose "everywhere",then the mowing belt broke,and the steering -sheeesh ,, hit a bump,touch a fence post,get it in a bind and the steering strips and keeps striping,there's not much you can do for that sucky kind of setup,and the steering rod fell off several times...next i noticed it was getting hard to crank and didn't have much power - i noticed the head gasket was leaking because the head bolts had came loose, the gasket was burnt into so i got a new 1,about a week later it stopped running,,turning the motor you could tell it didn't have any compression so i removed the head thinking it was the gasket blown again,,,but noooo wow 1 of the valve seats had popped out of the motor holding the valve open,, i used jb weld to stick it back in,,somewhere along the way the rear end went out and i replaced it,,other than that it was great! In 2004 i bought a murray 15 1/2hp O/H valve 42in cut mower ... all i do to it is add gas,change oil and mow. I do have an older murray stripped down into a riding machine,best tool a small farm can have for hauling small loads and going out in the fields.

We owned 2 Saturns until my 11 year old konked out last May. To repair would have cost a fortune and even though we had been what I would term 'valued' customers, the dealership made no real attempt to keep our business, even though they knew I was prepared to purchase another new car from them initially. So I simply walked across the road - literally - and bought myself a little Toyota Yaris. The Saturns were good. Notice the word 'were'. They were good in the days of the polymer panels. Great for a Canadian living on the east coast who has to travel on salt covered roads in the winter. Mine, even after 11 years was in great shape except for that thing under the hood known as an engine... But I must add that as a courier, I did put well over 170,000 miles on the car. DH has decided he'll be going to a Toyota as well when his Saturn gives out. He's hitting 185,000 Miles at this time. As I said, in our case it wasn't really the car but the dealership. There's a lot more of them (dealerships) and those who think that buying a car from them once means you'll repeat in the future had better think again. On the street where I bought my first Saturn in 1996/97 there used to be only three dealerships. Now there are 10.

Our summer ended yesterday. It was only 55° when I got up and only got to around 80°. While I was at work Joe opened up all the windows and turned off the air. The house sure felt nice when I got home. This morning was even cooler at 50° but I enjoyed my breakfast on the lanai so much. My flowering plants are really perking up too. I love fall and winter in Florida :) Rhonda
