Oil Reservoir Crack Repair

[HawkX66]

I cleaned my oil reservoir the other day and noticed the seam separated. I'm sure it was there before because it was an oily mess inside the hull. It's completely clean and dry now. Is my best bet to do the "plastic melt trick" I'm seeing on Youtube or am I better off using a two part epoxy that I have? I also have super glue, but figured that'd be too easy lol

Thanks.

I repaired one using refrigerator ice maker/water line. Worked great.

I saw a video with that trick. Looked easy, but I didn't have any handy. I just threw the two part epoxy along the seam. We'll see what happens. I suppose if worse comes to worse I can melt plastic over it.

My tank was leaking also, so I melted PE tubing over the seam and also applied 2-part epoxy over it, but it still failed after reinstallation. So I bought a new one.

Call me lazy but for a $100 I just replace them every 5-6 years as they start to leak with new ones.
