Default Sealant around fuel sender?

I replaced the gasket which resides between the fuel sender and the tank (standard five-hole deal). There was no indication that sealant had been used previously. The new gasket is thick and semi-soft, plus the screws had plastic cones around them to ensure a good seal of the holes.

I re-installed without using sealant, but now gasoline is seeping out. Should I re-assemble with Permatex 2 or something else?

Thanks in advance,

One thing about Permatex #2 is that you will have a rough time trying to get it back apart!! When I replaced my gasket I did not use any sealant. Try tightening the screws again first if you haven't already.

The stuff I'm referring to is "gooey" and stays gooey (doesn't harden). Maybe it's called Permatex 2B.

I cranked down the screws. I'll try again.
