In an attempt to remove the fuel line from the petcock on the bottom of my gas tank on a C-120 I inadvertently pulled the entire grommet out of the bottom of the tank spewing gas everywhere. Yes, in hindsight I should've emptied the tank but figured closing the petcock would be suffice...
Wrong! What a mess.. had gasoline everywhere.
Anyhow my question is:
Is it necessary to use a sealant on the grommet prior to re-installing it back into the bottom of the gas tank?
Oh and advise very appreciated thanks in advance.
