Hi folks, have finally tracked down a leak I had in a grey water tank. Fitting was glued poorly and was leaking. Tank appears to be a composite and fitting appears to be tapered. 2 questions; do I try to find a tapered fitting? and do I glue said fitting with conventional pipe glue? Or has some a better fix?

Thanx in advance

had the same problem on black tank for 1/2 bath could find nothing to glue it with that would work. finally tried a t-bolt clamp. it clamps around better than regular style hose clamp and tighter. hasn't leaked for 3 months. got clamp on amazon
