Why not just take it to a Porsche dealer and have it properly repaired. ---

Porsche dealer to repair a 40 year old car? I doubt it, they aren’t going to patch the fuel tank. People are asking $750 to $1250 for used fuel tanks on Ebay. ---

Have found a company in VA who do this type of repair but will not do fuel tanks because of insurance purposes, they are however willing to train me on plastic welding and I am looking forward to learning a new skill will keep you posted and thanks for the responses ---

> [@Ph0n3Guy](#): > > [many adhesives] won’t work on Polyethylene. Very true. The plastic bottle super-glue comes in, it’s made of PE, b/c even super glue won’t stick to it. The only way I’d diy-driveway-attempt even a plastic weld on a gas tank is if the tank were completely full of water. And even then I’d be reluctant. ---
