John,
The APM Hexseal screws look very interesting for the sender! An elegant
solution.
Please send me a picture when you've got them installed.
I see Grainger sells them in 10-packs:

I sealed my sender 6 years ago with panhead screws, Dorman bonded sealing
washers and Hylomar - it's been leak-free ever since:

Permatex Form-A-Gasket No. 2 Sealant is gasoline-proof according to their data
sheet - might be easier to source than the Dow-Corning RTV.
Don't believe it's necessary to locktite the screws - Moss catalog only shows a
copper washer there.
