Okay, I found a leak in one of my water tanks.  I tried multiple things to fix it instead of having to replace it.  Finally, I found a solution.  I removed the fitting where it was leaking.  Wrapped the threaded parts with a plastic shopping bag from Lowes and tied it tight.  Every day for the past week I have gone out and sprayed the surface with clear FLEX SEAL.  After doing this every day for 7 days I put it to the test.  So far, no leak. 

If you do this, be sure to get the bag on tight and well off the threads.  You will have to pick and peel the bag away.  Also, where gloves.  I didn't on the first time and my fingers were covered in plastic from the spray.
