You did the right thing taking the tank apart, especially because it was leaking. The hard part is now getting everything clean and especially the area to be sealed. There are several products that you can use to seal it up. One readily available one is the Permatex Anaerobic Sealant No. 51813 https://www.ebay.com/itm/PERMATEX-ANAER … -1&vxp=mtr.

The screw threads also need to be coated with the same sealant used for the tank. A Phillips head screwdriver is helpful to line up the two halves for initial placement. Be careful not to use too much sealant on the tank, or you can have trouble getting the halves completely seated. Some light taps with an impact driver can help pull it together after hand tightening.
