John,If the white plastic sleeve is is glued in place it is problematic to try to remove it a try to seal it. As you probably already know, if the fuel is reaching the elevation of the plastic sleeve then it is above the top of the fuel tank & that means that every thing associated with the tank is under positive pressure. Any small leak will be apparent due to the smell of fuel. That would also include the rubber sleeve connecting the tank to the fuel filler tube especially if the fuel tank is filled so that there is standing fuel in the filler tube & then the car is parked. If the leak is small enough, there might not be any fuel visible, only vapor & the smell. You might try parking the car for a few days with the fuel level about 3/4 full & see if you can still smell fuel.Gary Hodson

Here are some photos of a new Moss after-market sender showing the sleeve.
It seems to be glued in place.
