How to seal diesel level gauge?
I have replaced a faulty diesel tank gauge with a new (mechanical) one. It attaches with 5 screws to the top of the tank. It came with a rubber seal. However, in heavier seas, the pressure of fuel in the tank pushes some fuel out through the seal. It is particularly a problem when the tank is full. What material should I use to get tighter and reliable sealing?
