Oil Separator Box 200 1993

The May 2009 Popular Mechanics has a "Car Clinic" article on repairing plastic reservoirs by Mike Allen. He mentions coolant expansion tanks and windshield washer tanks. The technique uses the Permatex Plastic Tank Repair Kit, which is basically a fiberglass patch, sandpaper, and epoxy.

I don't know if it would work with oil separator boxes or other tanks, such as power steering fluid reservoirs. It might be worth a try, depending on the cost of the repair kit.

I do know I'm getting tired of replacing OEM power steering fluid reservoirs because of cracks at the seam. Next time I may try the Permatex.
