I don't know what you are screwing into but on my fuel gauge set up I have
sealed anchor nuts on the tank side. Basically it is a standard anchor nut
with a plastic(?) fuel proof cover over the nut. Got the nuts from LAS.

Subject: Europa-List: Airworld fuel gauge sealing - what to use
I fitted the airworld fuel gauge a while back and when the tank is up to the
top of the tube it seeps at the screw heads and round the top of the tank.
I spoke to airworld and they said to take each screw out and apply some
automotive gasket compound. I brought some fuel resistant hylotyte from
hylomar. Has anyone had a similar experience? The design seems bound to fail
as the fuel is surely going to seep through the threads. Also tightening is
going to just crush the poly tank.
