Massey gas tank issue

I have a 202 (industrial modal of the 35). The cover
for the hole for the sending unit is leaking gas. I
tried a new gasket but it still leaks. I don't need the
gas guage working, I just don't want the gas
coming out of the tank. Is this common? How to
stop the leaking?
 
If the gasket is new there may be leaks at the five hold down screws. I've seen the screws leak when the small rubber O ring on each screw crack or fall apart.
 
The later tractors had screws with a countersunk area for a small O ring. Not sure the early tractors used them. I know dad's 180 tank has them as it was apart last summer. Maybe a small soft copper washer would work too if your screws don't take the O ring. Auto supply or hardware store might have what you need.
