Re: Re: [DIY] closed water tank repair

 

could you use silicone caulking? I agree with Dale, most tanks will not allow glue to adhere. you may be able to sand the surface and get one to stick for a little while, but not for long. maybe find a fitting with screw flanges and brass toggle bolts with a thick gasket between the tank and fitting?

Most tanks are made of a plastic that glues will not adhere to.  Can you get to both sides, and how large is the hole?

I have a closed portable water tank that i need to replace the male fitting on. I am having a difficult time finding a local plastic welder. I have considered taking a male hose fitting and some how gluing it  in place. The water stored in the tank is used to water horses.
 
What type of glue is recommended, or is there another way of repairing this tank?
