I built mine per the plans so I used the cork and prosealed the screws
holding the cork between the plate and rib.  I have pressure tested both
tanks and they do not leak at the cork.  I have not put fuel in them yet but
I feel if Vans designs it with cork, and the kit gives me cork and
construction plans shows the gasket is cork, then who am I to redesign the
plan.  I have no doubt that proseal will work too.  But if you need to get
back into the tank, the cork will be easier to work with.
