Just trying to be helpful. No offence taken. Our inside tank,battery,water level never worked when we got our HiLo used. We are fine to use everything for a weekend. Worst case you overflow a little grey water out of your tank. You can take a flashlight and peek into your toilet. When we go camping for longer periods of time we take our blue dump tank and empty after five days. We dum our grey dish water on a tree especially when the weather is extremely dry. We also use the campground showers. Bottom line you can survive nicely without working sensors. Maybe you need your $ for more important RV fixes.

Cut your cloth to cover the area with about a 1 to 2 " overlap. Spread a good layer of cement over the area, lay the cloth over the area and work the cloth well into the cement. Next cover the cloth with a new layer of cement and smooth. After the cement has dried for a few hours,repeat the process with a second layer of cloth and cement. Cut the second layer of cloth larger than the first. Working the cloth and cement where the pipe joins the tank will take a little work and will be messy. The repair may not be pretty but will be strong. I have never had one of the repairs crack out again. The tanks are ABS material and you have more working time with the ABS cement than with a two part cement. If you need more info get back on the forum.
Repaired as jim l said yesterday looks OK and Has eliminated leak... thx for TIP...got all stuff at ACE...I used denatured alcohol..yesterday was 6/30/19
