Kelly,Have you tried replacing the fitting?If it's a poly fitting it could have
gotten damge to the threads or mis-shaped somehow...
Worth a shot I think.
Use some good Teflon tape and maybe some kind of pipe sealer. I used to use a
product called 'grip' when I was worried about leaks. It's messy though and is
hard to break the joint later. Also, you don't want to use too much Teflon
Tape on the joint. Just a few wraps.

Re: Stus-List Water Tank Woes
I have 3-20 gallon Kracor tanks and 2-23.5 gallon Nauta bladders for fresh
water and 1-39.5 gallon Kracor tank for poop. They all perform well.

Replace it with a flex tank. I love my flex tanks. I don't have a single
rigid tank on Touche'.
For some reason, flex tanks don't have a strong following. However, in being a
member of this list for a decade and a half, I do not remember a single post
about a failure of a flex tank. There have been several about rigid tanks.

One of my water tanks continues to leak and it appears to be where the barbed
elbow fitting exits the tank . I've wrapped the threads with Teflon tape [both
pink and white], but it fails to make a good seal. This is my 3rd attempt to
fix it.
The tank is a Kracor brand, and the tank's walls and bottom appear to be quite
thick. I have observed "weeping" only right around the hole where the elbow
fitting is screwed into it.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Is there some adhesive that I can apply the
threads of the barbed fitting??
Thanks,
