I have a IMS tank, and it doesnt leak, then I put this clark tank on that I bought and it does. It leaks where the filter goes into the tank. I tried puttin some silicone stuff in there but that didnt work... any ideas?:confused:

Maybe try putting an o-ring in there? It would probably stop the leak.

There is this compound you can buy called "J B Weld", you mix a grey and black liqiud together and apply it to hold anything, its the strongest hold next to a metal weld ! i use it for everything, its amazing, and ive use it on gastanks too. Buy some, its very cheap and it will work perfectly for ya.
