What kind of adhesive can i put on the decal to make them stay on the tank so they stop falling off??

nothing short of epoxy, the tanks are polytheylene and they breath the vaoprs from the gas through the plastic making stickers and paint nearly impossible to adhear to the tank. Verde graphics makes graphic kits for the 250R and they also have universal kits as well, some are made to stick to the tanks.

Good luck coating plastic. I just used redcote on some tanks and the funnel I used got cleaned with acetone before I used it. I forgot to clean it and the next day that coating peeled off like a tomato skin. Unless the plastic gets scuffed up, I can't imagine that a coating holds up under regular abuse......
