Don't use just any silicone.  The DPO of my TR3 used silicone on the fuel 
sender gasket and it softened, swelled and exuded into the tank cloging the 
fuel system.  Get something that is specifically fuel resistant.

BTW, I know of no such silicone product.  If you find something, let us know.

P.S. With all the various fuel additives what works may vary from state to 
state 

 

Too, offhand, I don't know of any silicone product that is fuel resistant.  I 
would submit that there are fuel resistant goops out there...    FWIW, I'd just 
change the float(s) out.    Charlie
