Guys the manufacturer says to use some type of Permetex fuel sealant. All the permetex that I have says not to use in contact with fuel. Anything I can buy at my local lowes that will work, or can I use thread locker?

I used high tack gasket sealant, and have no fuel leakage. It is made by permetex and is fuel resistant.

If nail polish remover dissolves that stuff Id be surprised to see it hold up against fuel and ethanol.....
