Anyone have a picture of how they mounted theirs? The one I received with my Grand Rapids EIS just has a rubber grommet. There are 5 holes around the outside of the sending unit but from what I can gather it is just a pressure fit in the tank with the rubber grommet... is this correct. If you use the screw holes with self tappers how do you seal it?

Tony, I don't know if the Princeton is the same one Westach uses, but here's how I did mine. I do know that self tapping screws will not seal, learned that one the hard way.

The rubber grommet only is correct for a top mount. I believe you can get a
copy of the installation instructions online. If not then I'll copy mine &
email them to you.

Tony,
I use the Princeton and have used the westach senders both of them with just the grommet. I haven't had any problems with either of them as far as the fuel is concerned. I have been using them that way for approx. 400 hours.
