Cool, thanks for the link. I’ve been looking at replacement tanks and the Briggs site says they don’t make parts for it anymore, but I may have found something that’ll work if my idea doesn’t pan out. But I’ve got nothing to lose so I’m going to try this first.
I would personally go for a replacement tank or proper weld as a long term fix if possible because anything short of welding is likely to crack and allow liquid to keep out as it vibrates. Especially with the mounting being the part that broke, that will put a lot of strain on the repair even with the extra support.
You’re probably right. My main worry is the “replacement” won’t be quite right and it would suck to blow 50 bucks on something that won’t work. So in the meantime if I can patch this thing to hold for a little while, it’ll buy me some time to find a tank that’ll fit for sure.
