you need to use nitrile rubber to make a gasket from a gasket supplier - there will be one local to you in the yellow pages. only nitrile rubber is truly petrol proof and not resistant.
the fixings - use countersunk rivnuts - using normal rivnuts leaves the head proud which gets in the way of the face to which you want a seal. the countersunk ones sit flush M6 will do fine with stainless bolts. make sure that all seals mating faces have very very clean faces with no deep scratches - petrol will find a way along it sooner or later.
but please do not use any sealant - it will come loose and drop in the tank - then block your fuel lines and filters - usually while your out..
