You can repair it by firstly removing the actuating lever and then rubbing the flange on some fine emery cloth on a flat surface. Then re-assemble using gasket compound on both sides of the gasket.
Thanks for your response. I've actually just taken the fuel pump off again and discovered that I somehow managed to put the gasket on the wrong way round so it wouldn't have been lined up properly. I'm assuming this was the cause as it wasn't leaking previously and the bolts came undone extremely easily so didn't seem overtightened. I'll put it back together with some gasket compound and see if that sorts it.
