Default Adding a Fuel Sender

Hi to all, I just joined this group but I've lurked here for quite a
while. I purchased two new Moeller cross linked polyethyline fuel
tanks w/o senders. The installation will require a 2" diameter hole and
5 holes for the screws. Moeller and Tempo tanks w/ senders have a metal
retaining ring with threaded holes molded into them. My tanks lack this
ring. Since I won't have access to the inside of the tank I won't be
able to use washers and nuts. I'll need to use some type of blind
fastener such as a rivet or a rivet nut.

want to ensure that fuel won't get by the fasteners or the sender. For
liability reasons Tempo and Moeller don't endorse modifying their
products. Can anyone advise me? Also, will a hole saw do the job w/o
melting, cracking, or deformation? Thanks
