Leak where the fuel filler meets the tank

[two stroke mick]

Two years ago I installed a 52 lt tank in the rib. The tank has a remote fill with plastic treathed section (90 deg bend). This joint between the tank and the bend has always leaked/ weeped a small bit. I have tried tightening it on several occasion but no great success. I am looking for a sikaflex type of product which I can place on the threads of the tank to improve the seal. Any suggestions?

Regards

You'll probably have more success at a pipework supplier, pipeline center or BSS for e.g.

Never seen it in a motor trade outlet or 'motorists shop'.
