Thanks guys. I ordered new senders. I decided it's not worth wondering.

I used these gaskets
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0075EBPKS
Viton Fluoroelastomer Flange Gasket, Ring, Black, Fits Class 150 Flange,
1/8" Thick, 1" Pipe Size, 1-5/16" ID, 2-5/8" OD (Pack of 1)
and just punched holes in them with a leather punch tool like this:

McMaster (link below), without any tank sealant. That was in 2014. Both
senders have been leak free since then. It=99s more serviceable
this way if something goes wrong with the sender.

>> Guys: It is no problem to remove the fuel tang sender with the wing
attached. I would recommend replacing the rubber gasket with a cork or
similar gasket when replacing the sender as the original rubber gaskets
squash out with time and leak. Use a pager punch to make the screw
holes in the new gasket. Do not seal with silicone as it is not gas
proof. Use the gray colored 2-part tank sealer recommended by Vans if
you want extra sealer. Doc Ser #s 41862 and 41087

| Subject: | G3X Touch - reminder to switch tanks |
Just flew with G3X Touch 8.71 software update. Garmin added the ability to schedule
fuel tank reminder based on fuel quantity used rather then just time. I
found my reminder to switch tanks was turned off as a result of the software
load. Need to check prior to departure.
