Plain gasket material (gasoline resistant stuff) from any autostore will do and maybe some RTV ...I once cut to shape an old 3-ring binder/folder to use

You can use the stock ACV gasket from the dealer.

Just make a gasket out of plain paper gasket material.
I've seen too many problems caused by overuse of RTV.
