Interesting. Not sure how many ofg us fly on E-anything fuel, but could. (I
maybe plan to, just not for takeoff and initial climbout) JB Weld site
says:
*When fully cured, J-B Weld is completely resistant to water, gasoline, and
about every other petroleum product or automotive chemical. For wet-s

JB weld is NOT ETHANOL PROOF.. ANY amount of ethanol and it will eat JB..

Jeff, after you recently explained the strength of ProSeal to me I agree with

In my opinion….make a thick washer/plate that is bigger in diameter than it is now. Copydrill the holes that in your tank and from your sender. Install on the holes dome nuts by riveting (we use them in pressurized cabin or fuel tanks). Enlarge the holes in the fuel tank so that the done nuts have
I would NOT suggest using a cheap one like in the attached picture, just
that the concept could be machined stronger. I suggested this because it
sounds like the backing plate is also the "nut" into which the screws turn,
and at 1/8" thick it stripped out on one hole and now cant get access to it
