Manco Thunderbird Mini Bike Gas Tank

#1
I'm trying to fix my mini bike so my nephew can ride this spring.

The plastic piece that feeds into the fuel line is broken halfway off. Is there any kind of adhesive or any solution to fix this problem? Or does someone have or recommend a new gas tank to get? Does it have to be the original tank?

I'm looking for an inexpensive way out of this.

Thank you!

I would think if you carefully remove whats left of the nipple from the tank then you can drill the appropriate sized hole(33/64) for a gas tank grommet like is commonly used on riding mowers and then insert a fuel shut off valve into the grommet and hook your exsisting fuel line to that. Look at e-bay item # 199192104736, Hope this helps, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Steve.
