Fuel baffle plastic welding, is this good (pics)?

[makaveli07]

Hey everyone,
Fuel baffle was not working... turns out its the F1 fuse. I cut the baffle and soldered the 2 points together and its all working. But rewelding the plastic proved to be a bit of a challenge, i used nylon zipties since nylon is fuel resistant and melted them with a soldering iron then used a dremel to sand the baffle smooth. Is this good enough (pics attached)? Or do i need to cover the welds further with another material?. I will also be adding a 250ma 250v fast acting fuse at the top of the baffle just incase current ever finds its way to the baffle which is very unlikely.

Thanks!

I don't know enough about them to say one way or the other. I've done 2. Never again. I send mine off to get done. $50. LOL I bought a plastic welding kit but I don't think it has the kinda heat needed for this.

I had 2 concerns when I did, one that it didn't leak and 2 that it FIT in the hole. LOL Good Luck !! I wonder if a leak really matters?

You don't need to weld the plastic at all and can just leave a hole. There's a vent hole there anyway so you just make a larger vent hole, probably have done 50 or more like this. Read some of my old posts where I show how to do these by drilling a single hole.

Looks perfect. No reason to add a fuse, it’s just reading resistance.

Ahhh perfect !!, saves me time having to wait for that 250ma fuse
