The gas tank (part # 179115) on my Craftsman GT5000 has developed small cracks. I'm obviously concerned about the safety of this situation. Does anyone know of a replacement tank?
Did this end up being a direct replacement? I have a similar issue with mine, 917.275280 and a customer's machine, 917.273461, pn 179115.You are good. I could not find anything on the sears website except "not available" with nothing superseding it.

I had thought about cleaning up the plastic and spraying truck bed liner over the cracks. Was that your idea?I just went threw the same thing not avalible I did a search and found that the same tank is in the huaqvarna which is what I have both are the same I finally found one on ebay guy had 2 with about 20 people watching so I bought price was outragous anyway I still have my tank mine was cracked where the gas gauge is on the side of the fenderleft hand side. I looked at a lot of videos about plastic repair and the only thing I see that would work is I think is sold at Eastwood is PR51 . There is a youtube video, you will lose your gas gage though.
