I wish I read this thread earlier. You won't believe this but I was told this trick by a backyard mower repair man a few years back and it worked on a plastic B&S fuel tank of mine.
Are you ready?
Nail polish. Common nail enamel for two bucks. Paint it on and let it cure for 24 hrs and that's it. He told me petrol won't touch it once its dry. I suggest you clean the work with some brief sanding and prepsol, though I forget if I went to that trouble. Not a drop came out.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
