Which bit is leaking? If it's a thread have you tried PTFE tape? You'll need about 10 wraps of it for it to work properly.

Why can’t you just replace the whole  joint? That’s what I’d do.

Haven’t you got a shut off valve on the tank outlet? It would only leak the hours you work then …………… about two hours a day.

Cover the male and female threads in Vaseline that might keep it at bay for a while.

It's leaking from the threaded bit....tried PTFE tape and plumbers sealant......I've tried to use all sorts of rubber washers too to no avail.....

The rectus fitting is the shut off valve.....its leaking from the threaded nut bit.....
