Default will it hold

I needed to patch a hole in a ryobi gas tank. (dont ask). So I globbed on some 5 min jbweld. I cleaned the tank, then I sanded the plastic, then I globbed on the JB. After an hour I put gas in the tank and rode the bike.

So what are the odds that it will old for a while?????

I've JB weld a generator gas tank about six years ago and it still holds. But that was a metal tank, don't know if that would make a difference.

Well the vibration is what bothers me. I'll let you know later how it held up.
