Fuel Sender Sealant/Glue?
What sort of sealant/glue would be good use to attach and seal the electrical plug for the fuel sender to a 1mm steel plate?

Been digging and came across zap z-poxy (http://www.axminster.co.uk/zap-z-pox...sin-prod23719/) just wondering if this stuff is ok to use? Is there any difference between this stuff and more generic epoxy's that are alot cheaper? Is there something better to use?

Maybe not epoxy based glue as it would be a bugger to remove afterwards. Pro-Seal do a range of Silicone based "Instant Gasket":

Thanks spud, so would that stuff also work as an adhesive as I need it to hold it in place as well as seal it?

No i wouldn't use it as an adhesive, self tapping screws would be the choice if you can.

Hmm not sure that will work as its only the small cylinder electrical plug that I need to attach and seal somehow. I currenlty just have a small hole drilled which it sits in but it doesn't exactly stay in the hole that well. Maybe I do just attach it permanently then and if it ever goes or I upgrade my tank I just replace the sender and the small plate I've attached it to?
