That is ABS. Dont use anything except good old ABS cement.
Clean everything well and use the cement. Unless there's some piece missing you dont need to add any material - that will just make the job harder.
Hold in place for 30 seconds after cementing and your done.
It will last forever if done right but if you use some other "glue", it will eventually fail.
The tank is plastic after all, not fiberglass like I first thought. From what I understand after doing some research, ABS or any other cement for that matter may not work. It's suggested to weld the cracks via polyethylene rods.
Don't get the tank and the pipes confused. You are correct that if the TANK is cracked or broken it needs to be welded back together by someone who knows how to use the polyethylene rods and has the proper equipment. What you are showing to be broken is the ABS pipes that are attached to, but separate from, the poly tank.
If you can follow that pipe back to where it connects to the tank it may just be held to the tank with a clamp or 2 and you could repair the entire run like new.
