6A fuel sender gaskets

[pgtuck]

I'm in need of gaskets for the S&W right fuel sender and the larger tank mounting panel. Vans show nothing for the gaskets. Is this a make your own out of cork gasket material? Thanks in advance

The overall concensus of builders (and I beleive the factory mechanics) is to seal both these joints with just pro-seal. The rubber gaskets that come with the fuel senders get soft with exposure to Avgas and eventually leak. The big access panel can be sealed with cork - but pro-seal alone works great. Most people never remove either of them, but if you have to, it isn’t that bad getting through the pro-seal with the right tools.

Using a gasket to seal the fuel sender panel on a fuel tank instead of proseal?

Our RV6 tank has a leak coming from the panel where the fuel sender is attached. We pulled the tank, and removed the panel and are now going to reseal it. Our mechanic advised us to not fix it with proseal, and instead to use a custom gasket to seal the panel to the tank, and to use stat-o-seal...

I got a replacement set from vans a gozillion years ago and made a set from cork after that. Ezturn/fuellube as a sealant and don't overtorque them
