Anyone had a 2 piece gas tank apart?

I'm really curious how these are held together. I'm beginning to think mine is leaking where the clear half attaches to the black upper half. Just slowly enough that I can't seem to locate the source.

Anyone had one of these separated and resealed them?

Fill it with water and try to pressurize it through the cap. You could build a simple test fitting using a rubber "jim cap" (found in the plumbing section at any hardware store) drill a hole in it, screw in a bulkhead fitting with a schraeder valve in it and pump it with a bicycle pump (if you don't have an air compressor.) You'll find your leak pretty quick that way. Should cost less than $10 and could be used as part of the setup for blowing out dents in 2t pipes in the future.

I'm pretty sure the tank is made out of hdpe so you should be able to hot air weld it, or use plastic specific 2 part epoxy available at any home/ autoparts store.

Not to Hijack your thread but can you toss the black upper part and install a complete KX seat for more cushion???
