Fuel resistant sealant/adhesive Hi all, I am modifying a pod filter [for another application, not my Skyline, and wanted to tap into your collective conscience......:) I have done an angle cut on the pod filter gauze/mesh and then shaped a piece of alloy to glue over that cut. The sealant needs to be fuel mist or drip resistant [so anything silicone is out] and bead in application, I can't use it if its too runny. I am doing this to get the pod to fit in the space I have available to me, a whole pod won't fit. I contacted both Sika and fixtech, and although they both have products that will do the job [Tank N and FM30 respectively] the cost is way over the top for what I want to do. I am looking at over $200 for one tube of FM30 alone. And I am struggling to find a supplier of Tank N on the net that doesn't want to sell me a box of 6 x 600g at around $400, this also indicates that one tube will be still very expensive. I estimate I will need maybe 200g. Generally polyurethane sealants are around the $30 mark for a 400g cartridge, but remember I will need one that is fuel mist resistant [its not washing in the stuff]. Also I have done all my 'shopping' online..........so if it didn't come up in a search then I don't know about it. So what have you ever used? What else is out there? Where did you use it? and lastly, how good was it? Thanks in advance.
