There is a product called Sealall, it is gasoiline proof, for a long time. We used it to repair gas tanks until they could be properly soldered later. Sometimes over a year later.

Before Reher & Morrison started selling the epoxy I use now, I used to use nothing BUT JB Weld to reshape intake ports on drag & road race engine cylinder heads. I NEVER had any of it come loose. It was in gas the entire time the engine was running ALONG with heat cycles & expansion & contraction. Granted, it was vaporized gas, but gas still the same. Ray.Comment

Count me in as someone who repaired a broken carb float post with JB Weld. Held up for as long as I had the carbs, which was a long time. I also used JB Weld to repair a stator cover that dragged on the ground for a while and had a 1/2" hole in it. That wasn't gas, but it's hot oil being washed through there, and that cover was leak free for tens of thousands of miles.Currently bikeless

The ticket is make sure it is JB Weld and not JB Kwik, the faster drying product.Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.
