how to seal a leaky electric fuel sending unit

[moetzmoet]

Anybody have a recommendation on how to seal a leaky electric fuel sending unit.It's a new VDO sender but when I fill the tank up it pools around the sender. My hood is a pain to get off so I haven't actually looked at it yet. I have reached under the hood and splashed in the gas though. It's a stock tank.

I would say that leaking fuel is not something to mess with. Pull the hood. It's possible that it could be a bad gasket seal, a crack in the sending unit flange, or a leak in the fuel line. In any case, definitely not something to take shortcuts on.
