        Allan, I repair these by  gluing in a plastic hose nipple that I get
from NAPA, they usually have a large  selection of plastic nipples to choose
from.  I use Loctite Super Glue and  it works.





I  thought I'd remove the expansion tanks, since I'm removing my fuel
tank,  and clean out all the accumulated dirt above/behind them.  Well  of
course I managed to break off one of the expansion vent valve  nipples.

Are these repairable?  JB Weld or something  similar?  If not, are they
available and from whom?   Did  not see them on any of the usual vendor
web  sites.
