Just about to change my fuel sender gasket for a new cork one as the rubber type that is on has a slight leak. Should I use any sealing compound or just rely on the gasket alone?
Fuel sender gasket
- Thread starter commercial rain
- Start date
Cheers John, will give it a go. When I removed the sender whilst restoring the van there was just a rubber gasket fitted with no glue so thought a cork one just on its own may be sufficient. Have you used any glue in the past?
I don't use sealant.

Thanks again all, no sealer it is then as its always a pain when removing in the future
All done with new cork one in place. When I removed the rubber one I remembered why I retained that one as it looks quite substantial with its recessed lip that fits into the tank neck. Is this an original fitment?

Come on! no job too small, no question too silly!
No its definitely a machine manufactured part and not a home job cut out of a piece of rubber, Maybe its rare
Your only jealous of my genuine Rootes rubber gasket
Aviation gasket glue is what i use, (still cleaning snake skin out of mine occasionally)its available in a small bottle of black gue thatalways remains tacky. Its great stuff and one of the only ones approved for aircraft/car fuel systems. Available from most car parts shops.
I usually make my gaskets, so they are a bit rough, as said above if you have a new one you may not need it.
Rain, hail or shine a Commer adventure awaits,,
Mount up!.

Thanks for that, I did use a new gasket without glue and it worked perfectly but will keep that in mind. Just returned home after a fantastic tour visiting Bridlington, Filey and Scarborough [8D] will post some pics soon.
