Brian,
I had the same problem, as well have many others. Over a year ago I
carefully sealed the unit in place with a new gasket and careful application
of a good quality gas resistant sealant. Pay close attention to the screws, I
don't see how they were kept from leaking even new. I finally made small
gaskets out of gasket material and also sealed the threads to the tank. Like
I said, over a year ago and no leaks.

Hi Brian,
there is a grommet-seal on market. It is around 3-4mm (sorry, I m metric) thick and would solve your problem. For the screws i use "Loctite" thread sealant.
