Holding tank issue

I filled up my tank and turned pump on to fill hot water tank and getting ready for today cause I was going to leave for camp ground today after work and i herd water draining from under the camper. Well....there is a small crack in my holding tank. Any suggestions on how to patch it till I take it to get fixed which will be next week.

is the crack on bottom, side, top? Easily accessible and how big? Probably could be patched with an epoxy.

Thats what my father in law said. The crack is right were the water goes in the upper part of the tank. So I have like 10 gallons that can still be used. Its more on topside of the tank.

You raise a good point. The tank is already cracked and if you do not repair it, I would be concerned that the water sloshing around inside the tank might stress the crack further

I only have the bottom part filled with water. Mabe 5 or 10 gallons. I will just hook up to water and add when I need some.
