Speedster oil tank

[Gary pope]

Quick question. I found out when I went to pressurize my oriole tank to try to search down and oil leak that I have a crack in the very top of it where the screws attached a tank to the hall. My question is this really isn’t going to affect the performance of it will it? All I’m trying to do is search down and oil leak

No, as long as it is at the top just don't fill it 100% full.

Any suggestions as to what I can use to maybe fix the crack?maybe some epoxy???

JB weld epoxy stick did it for me till I replaced it a few years later.

OK looks like I’ll try some of that or some other Epoxy for it. If you put the JB Weld on it, was able to pass the pressurization test? I know it’s getting harder and harder to find these. I know I seen some on eBay for almost $300 which is crazy

Loc-tite makes a plastic fix superglue that comes with an applicator like a felt-tip pen that contains a primer that works with those slippery poly plastics like the oil tank. You prime it, wait 60 sec and apply the glue. It somehow makes the plastic porous I think the glue they send is just regular superglue. You can reinforce the crack with Q-Bond (get it off of Amazon and watch some YouTube on it) I can't be without that stuff.
