The product description says it is for manifolds and is water and oil resistant. But it does not indicate it is gasoline resisent. Anyone know if it i

I have used it for years on intake manifold gaskets. Seems to hold up well to fuel flowing through the intake ports.

If the leak is due to a bad gasket, this should work if carefully applied. I have used it on plastic and rubber with no problems. If the leak is due to a crack in the manifold, I can't be sure. But it's worth a shot since a tube of this stuff is cheaper and easier than buying and installing a new manifold.

I've used it on oil related problems only so far, however I lent it to my neighbor who has a air boat and he used it on every joint on it and he has not had any problems. If you follow the directions to the T I don't see why it wouldn't work. The manufacturer states the following, Brush on formulation. Dries to pliable film For water pump gasket hose connection, coolant hose connection, and heater valve gaskets. So I would think that there wouldn't be any problem using it with any water thermostat. Good luck, I love it.

Resistant yes, I've never actually soaked it in gasoline for an extended period of time, but I have "rubbed it down" with gasoline on a rag just to test it out... Good to go!

I believe it's rated at 100 what are you using this for? I have it used in a 80 psi fuel pump and it's fine. Submerged in e85 as well

Sorry, I have no idea. I haven't used mine yet because it is unsuited for transferring caustic liquids. Your newsprint idea sounds reasonable except that gasoline would still soak through and smell like, well, gasoline - not the same as Chanel #5 or Brut. It seems unlikely that any container would be able to keep that odor in unless hermetically sealed. Not sure it's worth the cost.Hope you have success in resolving this. I'd be glad to hear about it when you do.

It is NOT recommended for gasoline. See the manufacturer's Technical Data Sheet (TDS) on their web page. http://www.permatex.com/products-2/product-categories/gasketing/gasket-makers/permatex-ultra-copper-maximum-temperature-rtv-silicone-gasket-maker-detailThey do offer other products for gasoline seals.

No this pump is not designed for gasoline. It may damage the pump and/or cause an explosion.

NO NO NO NO NO!!!! If your still with us and reading this. DO NOT USE THIS FOR ANYTHING BUT WATER!!!! If this pump is exposed to gasoline vapors you will not be with us. This motor has brushes and creates exposed arcs or sparking. If you need to pump gasoline, acquire a pump especially designed for that purpose. Again: DO NOT USE THIS FOR GASOLINE!!!!!

Mine has not held up very well just using it to take water out of a birdbath. Personally I wouldn't use it for any oil, lubricants or gas. Years ago I had one that looked the same that was used for kerosene but it was much better quality and it worked great. This one is pretty flimsy.

I repaired a wet washer fluid reservoir, and refilled the tank five minutes after the bond set, it has not leaked since. I believe it would cure and withstand relatively well. Also, the key portion of an ignition key/key fob combo broke off for my Ram. I glued the key insert back into the FOB and have used it to start the truck numerous times every day, so it withstands torque very well.

The pump is not rated for non-water base solvents and will probably self destruct. Most solvents are aggressive on silicone and rubber so the pump will likely have a short life unless it has Viton seals which are more resistant to solvents(fuels). I'm in the process of modifying mine to use solvent by retrofitting it with a cheap Airtex marine fuel pump, a 12v transformer, a Derale Oil Filter mount and a 10gal drum with a removable top to create a safe filtered solvent system. The drum stores any solvent while the cleaner is not in use. It is much safer than a basin full of what is effectively fuel. This is particularly important to me as I do metal fabrication in my garage. The pump is not rated for non-water base solvents and will probably self destruct.

My reuqest was erroneus, this sacanncer buying for me long time ago, is only for gasoline cars, not for diesel.

Well to be honest with you on this i only used this stuff in a lawnmower that had a bit of carbon build up on the top of the piston and after putting it in the gas a few times it started to work. I removed the spark plug and there was the piston i could see part of it were the carbon burned off. So it dose work on carbon. So it should be safe to use in any gasoline engine. Now for a Diesel i have no clue how it would work you would need to fine some one who knows what they are talking about.

I thought to merely click on "I don't know," but that seemed a little too dismissive. The fact is, the jury is out--completely out as far as I am concerned--over whether ethane does damage to an engine, how much damage occurs if it does do damage at all, and then there are other problems it may cause--primarily in emissions. I know many race car drivers, and they are big believers in ethane, mixed in at very small doses, often with a very small dose of distilled water, and all this assumes that the engine is operating at a higher temperature than most engines on the road do. My preference is to stay away from ethane, if possible. (Often you don't know if it is mixed in with the gas you buy or not.) Whether MMO would help with ethane damage, I truly don't know. I suspect it would because of its lubricating properties, but I'm not sure. If you call the factory, I suspect they will just tell you it would since they kind of put themselves in the role of cheerleader for their product. So this is the best I can do. Maybe someone with more knowledge of chemistry than me could give a better opinion, although I have read arguments and counterarguments by chemical engineers and they don't agree with each other. As far as I'm concerned, it's still very much in the experimental stage. I suspect in 10 years either it will be getting used a whole lot more, or it will have disappeared from our gasoline entirely.

This is not meant for fuel, it's specifically for water. The plastic is not the same and will decay.

It clearly states in the manual that it is not to be used with gasoline because there is not enough oil in gas to lubricate the pump. I only pumped diesel. I have no idea what would happen if I tried to pump gasoline.
