Default Fuel tank filler grommet installation

I have to replace the rubber grommet on the gas tank of my 1986 Mustang GT. I have the part, but I need to know if I need to put any type of sealant, etc, on the grommet and/or tank where they join to make sure the new grommet doesn't have gas leak from around it.
Also, when I stick the filler pipe in through the new grommet, do I need to put any type of sealant on the filler pipe where it meets the new grommet?

Thanks

Default I did not use any sealer

Changed my tank and fuel sender and those grommets. Have no fuel smells
and it has been six months or so now...

No sealant need on either.
