Looking for input about sealing up the fuel tank level sender. I did the left wing tank end cover today so perhaps asking this question just a tad late.
I gooded up the inside surface of the tank sender then the rubber gasket and the end of the tank. Found that as I made the bolts tight the gasket kept pushing out from under the sender flange. So anyway I stopped with the bolts at a point with uniform gasket showing around the whole edge of the sender. Here is a photo: Tank sealer on fuel level sender flange
Is this all that is needed to keep the sender attached and the tank not leaking?
For the main end cover on the tank I ditched the gasket altogether. Also I'm using stainless hex head bolts on these parts.
Thanks.
