Fuel safe sealant

[Dualie]

IM looking for an RTV type sealant to replace a cork gasket that goes under the 8"x8" square bolt on fuel neck of a forklift I have.

ITS A relic that originally had a cork gasket in this connection but I really don't want to hassle making another cork gasket.

Years ago I used to use a product made by OMC ( Outboard Marine Corp ). They made a couple diff versions, the one I used that was fuel proof was called "type M", for metal to metal contact.

If you are close to an airport go there to find what you need. Aircraft have some cool sealants.

Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket is gas resistant. Any Napa should carry it.

This stuff works well with gas also. Most any motorcycle dealer should have it under the names Honda-bond or Yama-bond grey color. (#4 IIRC)

MOTOSEAL1 it is.

Forms a tough flexible bond that is highly effective on irregular and uneven joint surfaces. Ideal for use on frequently disassembled engines. Resists gasoline and other damaging fluids.

sounds exactly like what I have. Being a 30 year old machine close tolerances weren't their strong points.

This is more to keep the WATER out than the GAS in.
