I'd be willing to be that Marine tex won't stick.  If plastic welding is
not in the plans, then go to Wal-Mart and get to the adhesives section
ofthe store in hardware and look for a large selection of syringe glues
from Duro or Duco(don't remember which). There is a methylmethacrolate
based glue called Plastic Welder that if you rough up the surface well
enough and polarize the plastic by passing the 1" blue inner flame cone
from a propane torch over the area to be bonded, you will have a better
than evewn chance of the leak sealing.  I believe that the resivoir is made
from polyethelyne and virtually nothing sticks to it.  The meth glue will
stick if the above steps are taken and WalMart also has a urethane based
plastic weld that maybe you should try first.  Come to think of it, the
urethane based glue is the only thing that will patch the polyethelyne
canoes out there and thaeir instructions read the same as whhat I've
described.  The 25ml syringe is a whopping $2.37  ie worth the gamble.
