Title: [FWDLK] Sealer for Gas Tank Sending Unit

Isn't it a fiber seal?  It's still used on the modern cars.  I believe the last one I installed was fiber/paper, and I got it from a dealership.  If so, it might swell when exposed to fuel to further seal.

 

Did you use the proper tool to tighten the circular ring?  The hammer and screwdriver method can warp it.

Hi All -

On my 58 Plymouth, I have a gas leak where the gas tank sending unit meets
the tank. I have the proper rubber seal between the circular holddown and
the sending unit. What I am looking for is a sealer, such as some variety of
Permatex RTV, that I can put between the seal and the sending unit. This
sealer should be impervious to gas, while at the same time be removeable in
case I need to remove the sending unit from the tank. The only thing that
comes to mind right now is a gas tank sealer, such as the Bill Hirsh stuff.
But I don't want to go out and buy a whole can just for this small area. Any
thoughts ?

Ron
