![]() Putting a thin seal of silicone on the gasket is just a set up for leaks down the line. The silicone will wear, as it is apt to do, forming channels between the glass and the gasket.

![]() Ive never siliconed a bulkhead.But when I use it on an engine,I run a good sized constant bead.Tighten up the bolt untill its just pushing into the silicone,then let dry.After it dries I tighten up the bolt.This way the silicone works as a gasket.Dont see why it wouldn't work the same on a tank.So far on a tank Ive found the gaskets work well enough alone.
