It seems that you are having problems with your fuel sender, more precisely, the leaking rubber boot. A common solution to this problem includes replacing the malfunctioning rubber boot or by using a stronger and better quality boot that will last longer
when fuel is in contact. There are instances where by detailing the sender, a fuel-safe sealant, or gasket maker, made for the automotive industry in particular has been applied, which has ended up in the individuals successfully preventing the fluid
from leaking. If you are afraid that plastic sender's usage might cause damage, it would be worth trying to consider sturdier, quality guaranteed, or certified substitutes or alternatives from the aftermarket. You may also try connecting with forums or
groups that dedicate to your car's make and model, as they, most, probably have more relevant information as well as specific aftermarket products, which are not that known. I wish these ideas help you prevent fuel leaks and get your system to run
smoothly again!
