I see Viton gasket was mentioned several years back, but do not see any further discussion. Viton sheet is available and there is a company that makes a gasket for the access plate (did not see one for sensor)
There also appears to be a strong leaning to pro-seal for the application.
Viton would make it easier to remove and maintain the access plate if repair was needed on sensor or tank, however there is that little detail on sealing the screws. I have had cork and Permatext Aviation compound working for almost 15 years and now have a leak at the fitting for the sample / quick drain valve, and need access.
So,
- what has been experience with Viton?
- recommendations and cautions for using Viton?
