Unlike filling gouges in the bottom of a snow ski, there's a little more to mending a cracked tank than just squirting some new PE (polyethylene) into the crack and smoothing it out with a warm clothes iron (I spent many a winter weekend evening doing that when I was on my ski club racing team...prob'ly the only time that ironing board and iron were ever used). First, whether the crack can be welded at all depends on the location. If it's in the top of the tank or on a vertical wall, the weight of the contents (water and sewage weigh 8.333 lbs/gallon) against the walls does its best to push the edges apart--and will succeed if not done correctly...and may anyway if the tank is a large one.
To do it right, it's necessary to melt at least 1/4", (up to 1/2" or more if it's a large tank) of the edges of the crack as you inject new melted PE into it so that they both run together to create a single mass that becomes a part of the rest of the tank wall. It doesn't appear that welder is the right type to do that...and I noticed that the list of plastics it's meant to work on does not include PE.
