gray tank drain pipe broken loose..grrr

[Hollybee]

Had our E21C at the shop last week b4 our last trip to Fall Creek Falls SP, had the brakes worked on and the 2 burner cook top inspected and a repair done where they found a propane line rubbing against the heat shield (too much info on social mdia abt fires).
Anyways, we got to camp and set up..no problemo and brakes working fine.
Then..!! Noticed water leaking down by L front wheel...further inspection showed the dang drain pipe on the gray tank busted loose from the tank @ the "caulk seam"
Could recall nothing big we had run over, and we had hit no bad potholes.
I figger some tech had leaned into the pipe whilse working on the L front wheel brakes, but cannot prove. Anyways, gotta fix leak..anybody got any indeas for a quik fix?? I guess it is lucky NOT to have been Black tank ;-)
BTW who makes a seam w solid pipe to a tank w caulk sarc off.

Maybe get a big can of that flex seal stuff and goop it up? Supposed to work even when the surfaces are wet. I have no experience in this area so just spitballing here.

When my grey tank developed a leak at the drain ( after 8 years on washboard roads ), I asked Reace what caulk to use. He said none will do the job. It needs to be spin welded, which ETI did.

Before I gooped it all up with caulk that won't work long term and makes a mess to clean up, I'd use a whole BUNCH of duct tape... or Gorilla tape and put a bucket under the seam. Far easier to make a permanent fix at home. YMMV.

If a pipe breaks loose at the "caulk seam" the spin-welded fitting is presumably still in place; ETI has been caulking the pipe thread joint between the welded-in bung and the fitting screwed into it.

Flex seal has tape that works while wet. It is much cleaner than just spaying flex seal from a spray can. It also comes in a paste. They will work for a temp fix.
