In my experience, PVC, ABS, silicon cements will not work at all, and make it difficult for anything else to work. I also suggest not using galvanize pipe at all. If metal is used, use brass.
Check with a RV supply store for the proper glue for the repair. I do not remember the name, but I used some to repair two different gas tanks, that were made oif the same material as the water tank.
