Unless there was an impact, or poor design that created a stress riser, you could be correct.If a plastic gas tank is cracked, you can bet the rest of the tank is deteriorated just as badly. The molecular structure of the material has lost it's 'plasticity'. And no longer has any structural integrity.
Super glue only works on certain types of plastic. Super glue is just an acid. It doesn't react to all plastics. I plastic weld with a screwdriver tip heated to cherry and don't use filler. My repairs are not structural or visible.
Gospel truth for any bonding operation. Cleanliness is next to godliness.But surface prep would be key for a good bond.
Patching or repairing a fuel tank is a sketchy deal any way you go about doing it, or regardless of the method used, especially with a plastic fuel tank. I would only suggest as means of a temporary repair, or in the case a replacement could not be found. If possible, I'd replace the tank. Also need to determine what caused the tank to fail. Was it just old age and the tank was brittle? Was it rubbing on something that caused the failure? Was something thrown at the tank causing the failure?
