REPAIR CRACK IN FUEL TANK

Any advise on repairing a small crack in the fuel tank of my trike?
The crack is right where the fuel pick-up goes through the tank - obviously as result of overtightening.

I would suggest approaching the companies that weld/repair plastic bumpers for cars.

What trike is it Dunesand?
Welding seems to have worked for some on locally manufactured trikes, but I had a crack on a 10 year old tank from UK manufacture and it was not worth the while. The whole tank had become brittle beyond repair.

Apologies for the late respose - I have been travelling abroad.
The tank is a 80L Raptor tank and I had it welded - hope for the best.
