Is it possible, one of the legs on my tmaxx's tank is cracked and I dont know if it is fixable or if i am off to ebay for a new tank. so is there a glue of some sort that will work?
 
If the tank isn't leaking and it's just the leg then JB Weld and/or Gorilla Glue should do the trick. If it's leaking I would just get a new tank. Fuel tank leaks become air leaks real quick!
 
its leaking, the top of the leg where it attaches to the tank is cracked.
 
That is going to be a tough fix. You can try the JB Weld but you are going to have to be sure you have no pin holes. RTV will not work on a fuel tank because the fuel will eat away at it.

Tanks are cheap, especially on fleabay.
 
Shoe goo worked for my old truck. But at the price of a new tank you might as well get a replacement.
 
I'd buy two and keep one put away in a zip lock baggie. Get a couple of feet of fuel line while your at it, too. Then you'll be set for a while. Tanks break fairly easy.
 
well i fixed mine up with JB Weld and it seems to be pretty strong . I have a spare but no point in replacing it when it aint broke. it doesn't look pretty but like I said it JB Weld worked.
 
A fuel tank is about the only thing that should just be replaced and not fixed imo! The fix will not last forever anyway you should buy a new one and just use that one untill the new one arrives
