Gas tank sump

Gas tank sump
I have done many tasks in service to The Mistress - 77 XJC - and her predecessors, but I’ve never changed out the gasket on a gas tank sump plug. While feeling fortunate? lucky? that it’s just the gasket and not a tank replacement, my question is, does the plug go in dry or should I smear a gas proof sealant on the threads? I’m changing out the vague tank level float on that side at the same time. The Haynes manual is obtuse on this point.

I found Haynes to confuse me more than it helped me. I believe that useful information is there. but, the organization hides it. Seems that it is a copy of jaguar publications. Originaly Series I and II. then a section on series IIi cars was crudely grafted in...
It is in my shed.... Have not looked at it for over a decade.
I removed those sump plugs a decade or so ago. I reeinstalled them dry. No leaks..
