Sorry I have not been on this forum in 6 months. I repaired tank by using the 3/4 FPT spin type fitting that was used to originally built tank. They are available on line & cost about a buck plus six bucks or freight. I plastic welded it in place using a combination of a heat gun, a harbor freight plastic welding tool and s/s mesh, and plastic rod that was included with welding tool. I used it last season and seems fine
