Crack in fresh water tank

[Jeff August]

Hello to all!
We have a crack in our street side fresh water tank, it is about a inch
or so long about half way up the side of the tank. What do I use or how
do I fix this, it is a plastic tank. I will try and see if I can lift
it out some to get at the crack, will something like Permatex work?
Thankyou for your help!

Check to see if there is a plastic welder nearby. I would be concerned with
contamination of the fresh water supply using any kind of glue.

Ditto; I agree use a plastic welder. I would venture to say any
adhesive would come unglued in a period of time. A plastic welder
should make it like new.

Plastic has a grain, if you find a potable glue , drill a hole at
all ends of the crack. the crack may not continue past the hole
but may continue past the repaired end of a crack. remember the
crack is a result of somthing else that needs attention. what caused
the crack may be the first thing to solve. if it is age brittle
plastic you may need to resupport the tank and treat the plastic as
if it is simply a liner?????
