fuel tank leak?

I have noticed on my rally. The plug on the top of the fuel tank that the fuel lines go through leaks fuel pretty good. Anyone come up with a fix for this yet? Silicone won't hold up long to the gas. It just leaks around the gasket/plug.

Seal-all will work. It's gas and oil resistant. Pop the grommet out and rub the sealing surfaces with some alcohol, then lay a bead in the sealing area of the grommet and pop it back in. You might want to lay some around the grommet after you pop it back in, as well. Just let it cure overnight.

This is a temporary fix, though. Eventually you will have to get a new grommet.

Thanks guys. The car actually only had about 3 tanks through it so far and already leaks. Its really just a loose fitting grommet. Thanks Dusty, will prob order one once there in stock.
