Joe M suggested a sealant for the tank sender unit.
I am giddy after getting what I think was a great screw from my
favorite place for screws (pun intended).
It has an O-ring nestled in a grove cut in the head and seals when
tightened. However, I have not tried it yet. The downside is that it
is not a locking screw, although APM Hexseel states that they have those.
I intend to use some blue lock tight on the threads in lieu of a lock
washer which would damage the seal.

fasteners and nuts.
