Leaky fuel tank

[stoked not]

Hey guys,<br /> I have a aluminum fuel tank that is leaking from the top where the sending unit is mounted. The unit is mounted by a small round plate with screws to hold it down. There is also a rubber gasket between the tank and the plate of the sender unit. I have one screw that just turns and won't tighten. I installed a larger srew but this one never seems to tighten. The gasket needs to be replaced and some how I need to get these scrws tight. Any advise on gasket material and how to get these scews tight would be appreciated.<br />Thanks<br />Stoked

stoked not,<br /><br />The gaskets can be had at almost any marine store/dealer. They are pretty much universal.<br /><br />You will probably have to tap the screw hole for a larger size screw.
