Another task today was to repair the oil tank, the outlet nozzle was cracked where it joined the main body of the tank.
Whoever repaired it before used a kind of resin which was leaking, I removed the resin, cleaned the area with brake fluid and "welded" some plastic into the area to seal it. I used a sliver of plastic from a coolant overflow tank, which obviously wont be using and melted that with a soldering iron!
While welding the area I left a screwdriver stuck in the nozzle so that the area would retain its normal shape and not deform with the heat.
The job is perfect, I tested it for a water leak over a few hours and it aint leaking!!
