I have a crack and fuel leak at the base of the support post for the brake flag on one of my 2511s. The saw was dropped from "way up there" resulting in several damages. It is the flywheel side. Replacing the entire tank is way down on the list for me.
A slight bit of flexing can open the 3/8" long curved crack maybe 1/32".How might I go about sealing this? What adhesive might seep in there and stand up to contact with fuel and also resist the small bit of side pressure that setting the chain brake requires? Some degree of runniness is necessary; the viscosity of typical epoxys would be too great.
Thanks for your help.
