Answer
Hi Fred,

The following response I am assuming that since you say replica it will be a dummy tank with no fuel involved. There are several products on the market that will bond fiberglass to fiberglass. I would suggest something like FE 991, SMC Panel Adhesive. It can be used on both Sheet Molded Composite and traditional Polyester Fiberglass. Here is a link to a company where you can buy it: http://www.repaintsupply.com/pd_smc.cfm
