    In this particular case, what does the PE part actually add to the fuel tank? From the photo it looks like it’s no more than a simple band around it, in which case you could probably just replace it with a bit of plastic strip of the right width.

        CA glues lose performance when opened, it's a sad fact. I already had to throw away two bottles of thin fas drying ca because it lost it's power. About keeping the ca in the fridge, I did that in the past, but I read that once a bottle is opened it's not a very good idea because of condense in the bottle. CA reacts to water and can degrade faster as well.

        Cheers

              Of course he did! You can't tell folks you've used Superglue without being able to tell them you managed to stick your fingers together - and you wouldn't want Alex to lie to his mates would you?:smiling:
