I've only ever done them dry, 100% success rate so far.

As the disclaimers always say, "your experience may differ"!

I'm with Carl. If it's rubber go dry. If it's cork use a gasoline compatible gasket glue. Not silicone! You don't want that stuff plugging up your fuel system.

On the swather fuel tank sending units here at work they use a cork gasket. However, that's diesel fuel, not gasoline but for what it's worth, we do those dry too and it works well.

I suspect gas is tougher to seal than diesel though.
