Thread Title : Fuel probe
Question: Anybody know what Aeromot used for gasket material? It looks like an "RTV" type gasket, possibly 3M 847. Anybody ever done this before? If so, what did you use to seal up this beast?

Thread Title : Re: Fuel Probe
Hey John,
I had a leak problem on one of my fuel probes and we just got some fuel proof gasket paper from the local auto supply to fix it. It's been working fine for over a year now. It had been replace about 2 to 3 years before that. I don't know what they used but it appeared that the fuel had attacked it and turned it rather gooey.
I have also had a continuing problem with my fuel guages. My left one works correctly most of the time but occasionally goes haywire. It also goes to full everytime I key the mike. My right tank guage most of the time just indicates full and occasional gives a correct reading. I've tried a number of things with no luck. I sometimes think it's water in the tank as a couple of times out of necessity I've used Mogas with ethanol and it has worked properly for a while after that. I just dip the tanks with a calibrated pipette from Sporty's and use time.

The Westec fuel probe gasket is a continual problem. The gasket leaks and water makes it go crazy.
We installed a gas-resistant gasket, and it drips now and again. There's a long thread in the previous user group forum.

Here's the discussion from the archives on fuel gaskets:
someone suggested that it be replaced with neoprene, and i'd much
appreciate hearing about what kind of gasketing material (thickness,
type) and what to use as a template.
