I came across this looking for adhesive for a kayak.  thought it might be of interest.  It specifically mentions tank repair.

That's very interesting, if what they say is true replacing cracked fuel tanks could be a thing of the past. Thx William

Brad Shafer is having problems posting here, so I am forwarding his Facebook posts.

Like many others, I woke up to gas on the floor and a crack in the tank.

Mine was low on the saddle. I liked what Dave Disney had done so I drained the tank and created an opening in the top. With the ability to inspect the inside of the tank (which is a very nice option to have!), I found another narrow crack in the bottom corner that must have been there for awhile.

Given the placement of the cracks, I couldn't find a way to gain access with a heat gun so I needed to find another option. I found this (https://tbbonding.com/) as an option to patch poly tanks. I talked with them and felt good about trying. I like the idea that the patch is flexible and will expand with the tank.

Jim Butcher

Worst case, it doesn't work and I do the full tank replacement. The bonding process was straight forward and fairly easy with access to the inside of the tank. So far it is holding well after 6 months but I'm going to do some more testing to make sure.
