    Used Permatex "hard setting" to seal the fittings etc on my three tanks
    about 7 years ago and no problems. No leaks and no Permatex in the fuel.
    Also use it when working on my diesel engine. Just don't use it if you
    intend to remove the part someday. Your mileage my vary.

    I recently cut holes in the tops of one of my tanks and cleaned it out in
    preparation for resealing it. I don't currently have a fuel gauge and it
    sure would be nice to have one. Any suggestions as to where to go to get
    such a beast? An electrical unit would be best, I don't really want to use
    a bubbler. The tank is aluminum and the only access is from the top, where
    there isn't a lot of room so something that sticks up over 1/2 inch won't
    work.

    Also, what's wrong with Permatex for gasket material for diesel
    tanks? That's what I was considering until I read the recent tank thread.

    Jim.
