I need help! There are lot's of posts about proseal and tank leaks but I haven't found a thread about this specific subject.
OK, I'm about ready to seal the T-408 cover and fuel sender to the gas tank. I've looked at various builder web sites and see about every possible combination of using or not using the cork gasket with proseal when sealing the T408 to the tank. The only common factor I could see was liberally "prosealing" the bolt threads going into the nutplates.
Likewise, I see different approaches to sealing the fuel sender cover to the T-408.
1. Using just the rubber gasket without proseal
2. Using proseal with the rubber gasket
3. Tossing the rubber gasket and just prosealing the fuel sender "cover" to the T-408
What's the best way to do this and minimize the chance of geting a leak at the T-408 and fuel sender covers?
