Is this ok to use on a gasoline sender gasket?

If you make sure all surfaces are clean and dry, then apply sealer and let dry at least an hour before you use vehicle.

i used on a tractor gas tank, and it sealed it up, required alot heat to dry, left out in sun, dont use it for a day, dont apply too much

It works fine with my small engine where I had a drip from the gasoline fuel bowl. It should be fine for a thermostat, check the Permatex web site for specs and useful information.

I don't see why not but for that application I would probably go with the spray version on a new gasket.

I doubt if it would harm the fittings material, for my purposes, it has always "just worked." Probably the smart move would be to test the sealant on a spare fitting first.

I'm sure that would work, but it isn't necessary; and I think the friction on the outside nut helps keep it tight. The gasket and flush side go on the inside and the nut and hose/pipe side go outside to tighten the gasket. Of course, you can also have threads inside the flush(gasket) side if necessary.

This thing is made of nylon. It's heavy duty but NOT to be used with gasoline. Use stainless steel with viton gasket. I think u.s. solid has them.

No, always apply the gasket when it's new before you get any keresotes or it gets dirty. Also you'll be able to tell if you need to apply before more after seasoning for leaks. I have these on 2 smokers, works great.

I've used this to transfer fuel and it worked well. However, make sure the tubes are inserted firmly because the pressure can cause the exhaust tube to fall off and thus cause fluid to spill all over. In my case, it was gasoline..not fun!

only used this silicone product to protect automobile door gaskets and lower edge of the vehicle doors from winter freezing and moisture damage. its performed great for years for this purpose. I'm not sure Vaseline is safe for gaskets.

Not sure if I would use it in high heat / stress applications. Works great for water and pump gaskets.

Yes, I have used it many times on thermostat housings and it holds up well. This is a great product on new gaskets or to freshen old gaskets that have come apart undamaged.

Yes, I should think so though I have always used it on gas. Any heat source should do.

Over a long period of time... I wouldn't take the chance. GET something with a rubber gasket seal.

I believe it would work in the short term but would not rely on it as a permanent fix as the gas will degrade the silicone over time. Visit the permatex FAQ page for more details. They recommend Form-a-Gasket products for gasoline environments.

I am not sure. The cost is so little. If the diameter of the lid is the same it might be worth purchasing it and trying it out. I have used gaskets that were not made specifically for the make or model with some success and some failure. I found that boiling the gasket and putting a little veg oil on it was necessary for older gaskets. Laura S

The conection on this item are incorrect for any gas,it would leak out the side and be very dangerous. Gas is not something that has a flimsy connection.
