    Thanks for the product tip! A word of advice: Carb cleaner leaves a residue. Instead, use either MAF sensor cleaner or throttle body cleaner or brake clean.

    I had this issue and using sealant or plastic weld only lasts a season. My tip is clean just like you did and get filament for a 3D printer and weld it with a soldering iron and the filament.

    I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I have an issue with my Z724 Kubota zero turn. I used one of my pressure washers fuel strainer in my zero turn to keep dirt and grass out of the fuel tank since it never had one before. It's been working as a fuel strainer well for almost 7 years, but the other day, the damn thing just fell inside of the fuel tank. I've tried sucking it out with my wet vac with no luck at all. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated and continued success with your video series. Thanks in advance.

    • @MowerMike
      @MowerMike  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha I can feel your frustration from here. If it were me I would just leave it in there and install a little inline fuel filter. Am sure it won’t hurt anything as long as the gas flows.

    On the John Deere gas tank it is pretty much like a Toro SS5000 gas tank that split on the bottom where the two halves meet. Use the s shaped hot staples about a 1/4" apart and cover with black gasket maker after the tabs are removed and should never come apart again

    • @MowerMike

      I am familiar with the issue but can not picture how you would fix a gas tank with hot staples and black gasket. You should make a video on that.

      What I'd like to know is after heavy use, is it still not leaking in 2 weeks 6 months or or a year. I have an almost impossible to find replacement gas tank for my ATV four-wheeler. The color of tank looks very similar opaque white.. there's about a inch wide hole at the very bottom of the tank so it is sitting in gas all the x... I have tried so many different types of patches and they have all failed after just a week or so. They pop off or start losing fuel. I'm so frustrated... Brian... Give me a personal email answer at brianandcat8@gmail.com.... Thanks

    Actually tried the stuff tried three of them put together didn't even have holes in the tank really more like severe scratches just barely penetrating the plastic. anyway like I said I put three of these things together sure it holds for the first two days but then it becomes separated from the plastic doesn't actually stick so back to square one

    • @MowerMike
      @MowerMike  ปีที่แล้ว

      Make sure to sand the plastic and clean it with some carb cleaner to make sure it is clean first. If ya did that then sorry I lead ya astray.
