Cork and old-school Permatex. No RTV, no silicone.


Even Permatex is now fuel-solvent, thanks to Ethanol. The only gasket
sealant I know of that is proof to modern gas and E-18 is Hylomar,

It's hard to find. We sell it at davebean.com , and i heard it might be
available at Harbor Freight.


Thanks for the reminder. I've been meaning to get a
tube. The A&P used it to reseal a gasket on my
airplane. Easy to work with and scrapes off nice.
