Anyone know of a place in OKC or surrounding that will repair plastic gas tanks. Tried permatex plastic tank repair with no luck. Tried google but didnt see many options.

Did you try JB Weld for plastics? On the plastics I’ve repaired this stuff has worked well. Proper preparation of the surface material to be repaired was key.

Check out a kayak dealer. They do plastic repairs, and if the tank is similar to the weld "rod" they have, it can definitely be fixed.

Where is it leaking? Can you make a large patch of similar material and use the sealant to attach it over the leak?
It has 2 brass nuts molded into the plastic. Bolts into those nuts and a bracket is how the tank attaches to the backbone of the motorcycle. Not sure if its leaking through the nuts or around the nuts. I used some thread sealant on the bolts but they still leaked.
