seeping tempo fuel gauge
I have a stainless steel fuel tank for my A4.
In the past I had noticed minor seeping around the tank mounted gauge. I believe that it was suggested to use permatex (aviation thickened ) and place around the perimeter and the phillips screws. The tank has a minor seep that I just noticed when fllling it. By minor i note a gas smell when plqcing the nose a few inches from the gauge. Rubbing the ss tank in the area has a trace of a film but no 'actual wet fuel, The sealant I applied a season ago has disappeared as well as magic marker points which were added at "true" gals points Suggestions on what sealing as a temporary seal without removing screws I will try tightening screws a little as well appreciated Best Art |

Some of the "old school" don't standup well to ethanol. I use Gasoila e-seal. It is made specifically for ethanol proof sealing. Google "Gasoila E-seal. There may be others that you can find with a bit of research.

Found it at walmart. Is it compatible with gaskets and plastic parts of the tempo gauges? |

Not sure this will work. There are several Gasoila products. Google "GASOILA E-SEAL". You need the can that says "GASOLIA E-SEAL" on it. It's all over the internet. It is made specifically for ethanol.
