Hey Folks!!
Happy Thanksgiving!! Well I followed Richard's advice and contacted Newell. They confirmed the tank is polyurethane. They repair by re-welding, and then re-install the tank.
I'm away from the coach for Thanksgiving. When I get back I'll try to re-weld it in place.
There a couple of ways, based on amount of room around the crack. One is to use a Dremel tool and short piece of polyethelene rod. The process would be to clean the area and grind a groove along the crack, then stitch-weld the crack. The other way involves using a hot plastic welding iron to melt polyurethane rod into the groove.
In any event, practice is required........ after eating turkey......
