You shouldn't need any "goo" to seal it! You really want to avoid using any type of sealants around fuel, as it will attack most of them. I found out at a young age what happens with these sealants when the fuel attack them, the end up gumming up the carb (or carbs in our case)! :shock:

Make a gasket out of cork for the sending unit. You can buy a sheet of cork at the auto parts.
Don't fix it Customize it!
