A while back I posted about my rusted tank and got some good suggestions about it possibly being hoses. Turned out that the tank was rusted through (as was the tank skid plate which was obvious, plus many other things that weren't as obvious).

Well, I finally was able to buy all the parts I needed and get around to doing the installation (the removal took forever due to lack of time and horribly rusted bolts).

Yesterday I installed the sender into the plastic tank I got, and the fit wasn't very nice, but I eventually got it, the gasket, and the two holding-plates put on.

My concern is that water is going to sit there quite a bit, since it's got a little depression there, and the only metal parts for the tank are right there as well. Does anyone have a recommendation for protecting that area? I was thinking of maybe caulking the whole area, but I don't know if gas fumes (if the seal isn't very good) will react with it.

The other issue I'm having is the liquid check valve and rollover check valve are a bit old and destroyed. I don't see stock replacements anywhere. I'm wondering if I can use one of the rollover check valves I've seen sold on some of the racing parts sites. They look a lot different though. Anyone have experience replacing those parts?

Thanks!
