Need help- Leak at fresh water tank

Hello all, I am in need of some help. I have an 07 attitude 26FSAK. The fresh water tank is leaking from the fitting going into the water pump. The fitting is (i think) a 1" female bung that is glued into the tank. There is a 90 elbow that threads into that and the hose comes off from the elbow going to the water pump. The female fitting is cracked down the side where the threads are. I dont know what the tank is made of, just that it is a black plastic. The fitting is a clear or white color. Any advice is appreciated.

    Awesome that the noticed the others being cracked and replaced them all for you. That's way cheaper than buying a new tank.

    Just wanted to follow up with what has been done. I listened to dirtclods advice and pulled the tank. It took me about 45 minute ( just like dirtclods said ) and drove it down to ronco. They are open every other saturday. They replace 3 of the fittings because they were cracked and the total cost was $40. Now I have to put it back in. Thanks dirtclods for the solid advice!!

    Yep. I think I would go with the flanges instead of gluing it.

    Call a tank supply in your area. Spin welding is the process used to patch and add a new fitting. See if someone local to you can do it. Not a permanent repair but permatex ultra blue silicone sold at any auto parts store sticks like a son of a gun. Going on a year now with a cracked bung on my funrunner.

    I just looked on ebay,, there called thru the hull flanges.


    you need to get to the back side for those, don't think they would work. the drain/fill kit would be a **** shoot as you'd have to remove the old one, which would leave a bigger hole than this would cover IMHO.

    The fitting is in the bottom corner. I took it to an RV shop and they told me it needs a new tank. I tried JB weld and it did not work. Has anybody had any luck with this?
