I just got a new fuel sending unit for my Hawk an I was wondering should you use gasket goo on the new gasket? It's a thick rubber one

I use a bit of RTV. Before you install it check the resistance. chances are infinite! I think you should see about 4 Ohms on one end and 140 to 160 on the other- might want to double check my nos. I've put 2 "new" ones on only to remove them and re-install the old one after a good cleaning with contact cleaner.

No matter what the gasket material is, some people have trouble sealing that area while others never have any leak at all. A leak at the sender, or just a strong gas smell, might appear only when the tank is topped off.
I like a product called E-Seal. Sold as a thread sealant, it is ethanol resistant. Apply a THIN layer to both sides of the gasket and the screw threads.
