I wouldn't bother "Gluing" ABS. It won't hold over time. That stuff must be chemically (or heat) welded. If you put glue on it, you may find yourself having to scrape it off and using the ABS patch before very long. ABS glue will not adhere to glue, it will ONLY work on ABS.

That tank has a lot of flex in it when you're driving down the road.
