[VAC] Re: 1965 Black tank
My '65 black tank is made of ABS. Epoxy resin sticks to it wonderfully. I
just encased the entire tank in a layer of epoxy and fiberglass cloth. It
will probably last another 30 years. Simple and cheap solution.
If your tank is HDPE, I have a friend who was very successful in welding
his--there's nothing to it either. You just have to have the right
equipment.
Check out this site:

It has a list of tests that can be run to determine what material your tank
is made of--very important. You have to determine that before you can
repair it.
