Weekend Warrior Water Tank Material?

Does anyone know what type of plastic Weekend Warrior water tanks are made from? I was tearing up and replacing the flooring and grazed one of the freshwater tanks with a sawsall. It's a small cut and I have been reading up on plastic welding. I can get a welder for about $70 at Northern Tool and the welding process seems pretty easy. The only problem is that you have to know what type of plastic that you are working with and get the right plastic "welding rods". I figure the plastic is HDPE, LDPE, or polypropylene. Does anyone know which plastic I should get.



The model is a 2006 FS2300 and the plastic tank is black if that means anything.

    Try calling this place.

    Tank-Depot.com

    Most fresh water tanks are made from one type of semi-clear plastic that is made from FDA approved plastic.

    They might sell a plastic repair kit for the tanks too.

    Iam going to put my money on polypropylene. I've done a lot of plastic repair the plastic welder is basic ly a soldering iron you may be able to use a clean soldering iron and just melt it back together without using any plastic welding rod. That way you would not have worry about mixing two kinds of plastics.

    WW is still around aren't they? I would probably call them directly and ask. Better be safe or you could possibly even create a bigger mess.
