To date I've used Hylomar forB all gaskets that sees oil or gasoline.B  Works
perfect.B 



However, am now fabricating a flange to adapt a modern Sunpro fuel tank
sending unit to the TR3A tank.B  The original rubber-type gasket under the
sending unit will be re-used and will be fine.B  But because the screw holes
on the Sunpro sending unit are a bit off kilter, I'll be putting a Plexiglass
cover on top in order to seal off the top end.B  To seal the top, I've made up
a carburetor-paper-type gasket.B 



I'm sure Hylomar will probably work fine.B  The paper is going on a flat
surface of the Sunpro sender, and will be held in place by a flat surface of
the Plexiglass.B 



Nevertheless, while I know silicone is out of the question, does anybody know
if there is something that fills gaps a bit better than Hylomar, yet is
impervious to gas?B  ...Short of those putty sticks that one must knead and
mold?



Doubt it, but thought I'd ask.
