try liquid nails, some strong crap there and should hold it together.

Bumper epoxy works well for mending plastic. It gets hard as crap though for sanding afterwards if you want to make it look decent.

Ace, Autozone, and Advance all have this stuff called Plastic Weld that works really well. It looks like a two part syringe that will lay out even beads of both parts of the epoxy for perfect mixing. I used it to hold my fuel pump bucket together after I changed pumps way back with the stock motor. This thing sat in fuel for several years, and now sits dry on my shelf. I cannot get it apart to this day. That damn pump is stuck in there.

Don't use the others listed as they won't handle gasoline vapors very well. They also stay somewhat flexible.
