The Vaseline was handy...
I didn't think of it until later, but I should have used the stuff I put in my house breaker box...(If you have aluminum house wiring, you know what I mean)...Where the aluminum wiring gets pinned down to the breaker contacts...
I am still considering the expanding foam; I have used it in my celler (that's a big room under the house below ground level for you Southern/Western dwellers) to plug holes...(I had a mouse problem for a while)...
But the gap between the gas tank and the seat bottom [steel] is about 1 1/2"...The foam will seal it off (I could put a circle around the outside of the sending unit orifice), but I'm wondering if it would become a place for the salty-slush to build up and eventually rust the tank itself...Right now, it is sort of self-cleaning...
