Gasket Sealers

[Bingster]

What would be the best sealer for the fuel pump to block gasket?

[Ivan_B]

Just go to the applicable auto store section and get anything that says "fuel resistant" on it

I personally prefer the non-hardening ones, I think Permatex gray or black, or something like that, came in a tiny tube at Autozone.

 

later: probably this one.

Thanks. I thought that it was probably a Permatex one.

Any brand is fine, as long as it is specifically rated for applications involving contact with gasoline If I remember correctly, there are also some glue/sealants available for gas tank repairs, etc. But I would not use these, because you will eventually need to take the pump off the car, some time in the future.

 

Also, an OEM-style gasket by itself should also do the job just fine, assuming that the contact surfaces on the pump and the block are still true. I do prefer to dress-up all of my gaskets, however, so I understand the concern for extra protection ? Just don't forget to carefully wipe the gasket and both mating surfaces with alcohol beforehand, otherwise, the sealant will be useless.
