Gas gauges on A-bodies

You should not need a gasket sealer, the rubber does it all. Sealer just makes it difficult for the next time you have to take it apart.
The seals provided by the manufacturer of the sender have always been terrible. They always leak. I found a gasket sealer that I used last time and it worked great. I just took the sending out and it was not an issue having that sealer on it.

I did find that one of the vent tubes that was attached to the top of the tank is hanging down. I guess I will seal off the vent hose for that tube and call it a day.
Or I can turn it over and press it up against the top, stick my mig welder in there and tac it back in place.

Wonder who will not see that as a little humor, very little I know
