    Ok so i'm having a little trouble tracking down some sealant which is totally resistant to petrol. I've tried a forum search but didnt find anything. My RSVR's plastic fuel tank is leaking where the fuel pump mounts in the bottom of it (common problem apparantly). so does anyone have any suggestions? I only want to do the job once so if anyone has any recommendations of really good stuff to use i'd be very grateful. thanks !

    Ok thanks a lot guys! vvtr, ive got some blue hylomar but i thought the packaging said not for constant contact with fuel ?? i tried an extremely temporary repair job just to the outside of the join with hylomar (as i wanted to ride it there and then) but it has started leaking again after a few rides. i havent actually stripped it yet (not having suitable sealant to hand) but i presume an 'o' ring is the only way it is sealed ...
    Thanks for the other suggestions, i'm confident i'll sort something with those listed, and if you could get us that name falcon that'd be great, the more options i have the better :thumbup:
