I have had some problems with the plastic header tanks mostly due to the 

fact that male fitting threads are way harder than the female threads in 

the tank.  The solution I arrived at was to use polyurethane glue 

(Gorilla Glue) as a sealer.  It expands when it cures (moisture is the 

catalyst for this glue) and seems to lock the fitting in very securely.  

The joints I have sealed have held up to 100 hrs of service over 18 

months.  I am not an expert on glue, and I have not heard of anyone else 

sealing threads this way,  but I think its worth consideration if you 

are having problems.
