No, not leaking between the gasket and the tank. I have a Moss rubber =
type gasket in place for eight years, no sealant and no leak.

If it is coming through the gasket between the unit and the tank, I used =
Hallmark.

Here are some photos of a new Moss after-market sender showing the =
sleeve.
It seems to be glued in place.

John,

If you take the nuts and the heavy paper insulation off the screw, =
you'll
see the screw goes through a  white plastic sleeve that isolates the =
screw
from the body of the sending unit.  The sleeve also holds the ground =
wire in
place - there's a groove along the bottom of the hole in the body that =
the
ground wire sits in.  The sleeve provides the seal. Don't twist the =
screw -
the lead to the wound resistor is soldered to the screw.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell
