Re: Gasoline resistant sealer
DO NOT use any kind of rtv for constant exsposure to gasoline. I'm not sure what exactly your trying to do but most intank fuel pump housings snap together and use orings on actual pressure connections and suction screens,Smitty

Re: Gasoline resistant sealer
Its actually the seal on the top of the tank where the lines come out. Its basicly a round plate on top of the tank. I'm looking for the best product that is gas resistant to seal it. Its a 4x4 and leaks when subjected to sloshing and extreme angles.
The stock gasket leaks and I'd like to glue it shut with something substantial.

Re: Gasoline resistant sealer
Or aircraft sulfide cured compounds. Two part sealer sold underthe name PRC Proseal. This is the stuff used on wet wings and is Jet fuel and 100LL resistant. I can't comment about how it would hold up to todays aromatic laced fuel but MEK has very litle effect on it.
