Union between tanks leaks

I added in a second 275 gallon tank for heating oil. I plumbed a pipe between the two for oil transfer and connected with a union fitting. The pipe did not align and leaked when I took an oil delivery. The pipe angles down creating a gap at the bottom about an 1/8 th of an inch. Since the tanks are full, it will be difficult to change level of either tank. Is there another solution? Will using plumbers putty work, or some other type of sealant?
