I have a hairline crack in a plastic gas tank on a Tanaka 32. It slowly weeps gas. Is there any way to fix the leak without just replacing the tank?

Unfortunately there really is no good way to repair a plastic gas tank.

One way and this is only a do at your own risk kind of thing is get a hold of an actual soldering gun (like a Weller), put on a smoothing tip and try to "weld" the crack closed.
