I did that last fall when I adapted a K-S sender into the TANKS poly tank in my '40. Not hard to do with a piece of alum. plate, a hole-saw and the correct counter-sinks. Worst part was making a new float arm and finding a float small enough to fit through the smaller hole in the tank. It's still not 100% accurate but works a lot better than the aftermarket senders I tried...

And I've used Hylomar as a sealant with no issues; doesn't get hard and is not affected by fuel.
