Who has the best trick for sealing up the fuel sender on the interior gas tank?

Check the condition of the inner hose/gas tank connection

Thanks guys. Fixed the leaky, although new, sender gasket with permatex perma-shield. Highly recommend this to anyone. Throw the gasket away. Apply perma-shield liberally. Let it set up for a bit and screw down the sender. No leaks since. Perma-shield is a gasoline resistant sealer.

I am glad that you have managed to solve this issue. Thanks for the tips!
