Most questions or puzzlement, wait long enough and you addressed (ie. the perfectly placed knot on rear structure). This one just kinda buggin me?

Not sure on the tank material but the PVC threaded connections, regular pipe dope not intended specifically to be used on plastic threads can lead to failure, NON pressure less likely. Just curious and for other readers. I dont want to side track, threads and sealants can lead to a whole topic on its own.
