    Anyone know what seal goes here or if i could just use some gasket maker on it or some remedy like that, i ordered a kit and this seal did not come with it.

    The proper part is a rather thick rubber gasket. If anything, get a hunk of the thickest gasket paper you can from the auto parts, and make one (trace the output flange.) I would smear that with RTV on both sides and allow to cure first.

    And I would only do that as a stop-gap measure while waiting for the part to arrive from XJ4Ever.

    It's called the petcock fuel outlet plate;

    from chacal's catalog: HCP114 Aftermarket petcock fuel outlet cover plate GASKET, die cut reproduction of the original.
