Fresh water tanks are often polyethelene - whitish/grey in color. The only permanent repair is welding I understand.
Your black color hard plastic tank will be ABS. That fitting will be glued in to the molded fitting on the tank more than likely...
I repaired a leak in the same flange area of an ABS grey water tank basically using the same method as in this video. Our orange depot doesn't sell the Oatley medium or heavy cements (each grade has more plastic content = "thicker") so I made some by dissolving clean ABS pipe in some acetone in an air tight lid glass jar. I also used brush on precleaner solvent:
