The compression of the plastic around the screw is on your side. No sealant should be required.
Good Luck

I would agree but a little silicone (or Goop) in the hole makes sure of that.
For benefit of the OP, this is a temp fix only...the screw will stop the leak but how long the tank will last is anyone's guess. Could last for years, but the risk is that the pressure from the plastic that creates the seal around the screw will create one or more stress cracks emanating from the original hole. Using too big of a screw will almost guarantee this...if you don't have a screw small enough for the hole, then pre-drill.
