I have a black tank and Eternabond did not work as it would not adhere very well. I ended up using a fiberglass repair kit with the fiberglass cloth and resin. It has held for over 2 years with no further leaks. I love Eternabond and use it for everything else but I don;t recommend it for tank repair.

Most tanks are made of polyethylene plastic ground in a powder form, put into a rotational mold, and heated in a furnace spinning the mold in every direction. We just developed an RV Handyman DVD and #3 was on water systems and how to repair a crack or pin hole. The best method is to get a strip or wand of like material as suggested in an earlier post and do a hot weld. The small little butane torches work great. They are available at Camping World or just about any Home Repair store. Drilling a hole at both ends is a must, then just touch the stick to the crack and weld away. Be care not to put too much heat on the tank itself as you can burn a hole or weaken the area. It's best to do a side heat to the stick with less direct flame on the tank. Practice makes perfect and it's actually fun!
