Best to buy or borrow the right tool to do it up nice and tight to ensure it doesn't leak.

Really what you want is a neoprene float and cork gaskets.

The problem I had with a repop outer nut was it wouldn't thread in to the tank more than one turn. Went to my junk box of original gas gage part's and found an original outer nut, fit perfect. Not saying that all repro nut's are bad but this one was. Nothing like original part's.
