Hi there,There is a two part epoxy available at auto parts stores that is advertised to fix cracks in batteries and gas tanks. Instead of starting as a liquid, it is like clay. You knead it then jam it in the hole. As it cures, it expands slightly and seals the breach.I have had excellent results with it.

An outside tap leaking from the hose connector can usually be fixed by one of three ways: Tighten the hose connector. Replace the connector washer. Replace the hose connector.
