Your water tank will be polyethylene, not polypropylene, and nothing will stick to it long-term. Captain Tolley's will certainly not work. Your best bet is to remove the tank and take it in to a plastics shop and have the leak heat welded. To get the residue of the failed repair off, use Anti-Bond 2015. You can get it through West Marine if all else fails. < http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_11151_10001_103399_-1?cid=chanintel_google&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=103399#.UkhFaRAb120 >
