Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Cool, thanks for the link. I've been looking at replacement tanks and the Briggs site says they don't make parts for it anymore, but I may have found something that'll work if my idea doesn't pan out. But I've got nothing to lose so I'm going to try this first.
I would personally go for a replacement tank or proper weld as a long term fix if possible because anything short of welding is likely to crack and allow liquid to keep out as it vibrates. Especially with the mounting being the part that broke, that will put a lot of strain on the repair even with the extra support.
You're probably right. My main worry is the "replacement" won't be quite right and it would suck to blow 50 bucks on something that won't work. So in the meantime if I can patch this thing to hold for a little while, it'll buy me some time to find a tank that'll fit for sure.
