Title: Strikemaster 2hp gas tank - Help!
Post by: donaldstauffer on Feb 12, 2010, 08:25 PM: I have a couple of serious cracks in my Strikemaster Mag 2000 2 hp gas tank. I tried epoxy but leaks in a day or so. Called Strikemaster and went on line to the Strikemaster site and the gas tanks are not available - on back order. It has been a month and a half. What can I do? With the ice getting over a foot, the hand auger is getting too hard for me. The engine is the old Tecumseh and I found older messages about the difficulty getting a gas tank.

Help - Will anything repair the cracks until I can get a new tank- probably next year!

Thanks for the idea. I bought some and put it over the epoxy and hopefully sealed it to the tank. It looks to be holding well and I'll try it this week.
