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.

Very helpful.....no, actually I am surprised you didn't say Tek screws....lol

 

Actually, I am wondering if the answer is closer than I think.....Selleys All Clear is a Co Polymer and once set [but it never sets brittle or hard],  seems unaffected by fuel and thinners.  I know you can't get it off without some serious elbow work and that's only for light smears.  Anyway its only $15 a cartridge so much more realistically priced as well, and I use it all the time.
