That part number seems to be correct 11009-1656, however it looks different. Here's a pic of my old gasket. It's a hair over 1/8".

buy gasket material and cut your own. Get the gasoline gasket material.

It's pretty thick rubber with metal spacers to prevent over crushing . I would reuse the old one instead of a thinner material.

It says "Not Available".

Yeah, I saw that after I posted the link. I'll be it's been superseded.  I can't imagine them dropping such a large segment of the existing installed base

Bought the one on Ebay, now just have to put it on.  Hope the sending unit gasket survives as it looks to be no longer available.

I you can't find a new one, I'd put a thin coat of RTV on your old one to help ensure a good seal. Keep an eye on it.
