I ordered a new gasket for my pressure fuel tank , Do I need to use any kind of sealant on the gasket ?
 
I promise you, the authorities on pressure tanks would be the AOMCI website.
 
I dont know the correct answer to this question but I can tell you I replaced the top gasket and the gaskets on the screws and I didnt use any sealant. Its not leaking yet.
 
Your statement is a little vague. When you do a pressure tank you need to replace the diaphragm, the gasket and the seals on each individual attachment screw. The latter can be nothing more than plastic washers purchased through a hardware store. The answer is no on the need for a sealer. When used, the sealer will often allow the gasket to migrate or slide while tightening the fasteners.
