To clarify, the gasket for the cover of the sending unit is cork. I replaced
it with a thicker one I made (approx 1/8" thick).
The gasket between the sending unit and the tank is some kind of rubber /
urathane. Black. That seems to be the problem area.
Is cork better?

Make sure your cork gasket is new, supple, etc. They stiffen with age and
fail. I tried sealing with hylomar to no avail but a new gasket did the
trick.
