Hi Blue, does your tank have brass or metal threaded inserts for the sending unit screws? My plastic Moeller tank has brass inserts for the screws. I had the same issue last year. Once I cleaned out the corrosion using a small pick and WD40, I found the inserts and carefully ran a bottoming (nearly flat bottom) tap thru to chase the threads and clean them. If you need to, you could tap for slightly larger screws. With the new rubber gasket and clean surfaces mine worked out well, no more leaks , no more smell. Good luck, TJ
