the grommet to steel tube is not a real tight fit like others have mentioned in other articles should I use a sealer for the tube and a sealer to the body of the cab?

Rubber shrinks with age so get a new grommet. Also check if filler neck is centered into the hole. The tank could of shifted adding to the gap. Jeffrey

Is the one you bought from Steele? If not buy one from them. See if it fits better. Rubber repop parts are not created equal. For that point a LOT of repop parts are substandard, rubber or otherwise.
