I got a small whole punched in my plastic fuel tank on my AC 8030 and i'm wondering what product to use to fix it. Thanks for any help I receive.

Look for a replacement for a tractor you rely on. If your not in a hurry , and have lotsa time , depending on the type of plastic , you might fix it, Wheres Glockhead? He may be able to explain, better all the types and how to identify exactly what plastic you have and the methods and materials for your specific task.

Drill it big enough for a machine screw and make a couple rubber washers for each side. Put a metal washer and a rubber washer on each side and tighten the nut up. I suppose the hole is some place you can't reach in the inside.

Sheet metal screw(as suggested) has worked for me in the past. If it doesn't work your not out of anything.
