one time i was cruising through the desert on my bike and the hose coming from my petcock sprung a leak, fuel was spewing all over!!! i pulled over, popped my nickelback cassette out of my walkman and used the tape to wrap the hose tightly. got to the next town about 5 miles away and fixed the issue then used a pencil to wind the tape back into the cassette, spliced it together with a piece of scotch tape and it still works great to this day, i just listened to it last week.
