I could not find one at a dealer and had a was going on a trip the next
day. I bought some epoxy and re-epoxied the bottom of the sender. I went
all the way out to the edge of the sender. I think the epoxy said
something like 'fuel resistant'. This was 7000 miles ago and so far it
is fine.

Auto stores also sell a putty to repair fuel tanks which may be a better
bet.

Seal-All was also recommended to me

I could not find it at the time but have since discovered that Target
sell it.
