You have to use abs to repair it. Youtube has videos of people making mixtures of abs shavings and glue to make a paste. I bought a kit on line which came with some cloth and the proper mixture of abs paste. The tank I repaired was only cracked around the fitting but it worked well.
It's called ***Link Removed*** and the web site explains it. I just posted one example of the different size kits. Getting everything very clean and not having water weeping into the repair area is important.
Thanks for the info and link. I'll check it out. :)
You're welcome. The other thing that I addressed when repairing the tank was the mounting of the drain pipe. It's an RV of course so it was half A and loose. I cut the longer extension pipe in half and added a radiator hose to take the stress off of the tank connection. Each set up is different but this one benefited from letting the drain fitting be fastened to the frame real well yet not be rigid at the tank.
