Default Capacitive fuel gauge...tank penetration

I'd weld in a pipe coupling, and then screw into that a compressing
tubing connector, with the brass ferrel replaced with a fat oring that
would seal the wire.

I'm working on putting a capitive fuel gauge into my welded aluminum
tank. In consideration of how to bring the wire from one of the plates
out of the tank...the best I've been able to come up with is to weld in
a 3/16" tube run the wire through it, and pack it full of a ProSeal type
epoxy. I'm wondering, is there a smarter way to accomplish the task?
