[Healeys] Tank sender sealant

[Peter & Veronica]

Thanks for all the responses - seems like I'll stick with Hylomar. I should 
have known how it works after all this time!

Cheers

Hylomar always remains gooie and runnie.  Its not like a silicone that cures
like rubber.   It is suppose to seal all liquids that
our cars use.   I am referring to the older type of Hylamar not one of the
newer versions that Moss is selling.   They sell 2 now and one of them
sounds like the original.
