I can't find a replacement fuel pump gasket or will take days to order but need to finish ASAP. Can any one suggest a gasket forming sealant (FIPG)? I also need an alternative gasket for the drain bolt. Didn't have one when I opened it.

You can make gasket out of a piece of card board . I have used a cereal box more than once to make gaskets.

The fuel pump gasket is like rubber go to the parts house and find rubber or gasket material and make a pattern, the drain plug also

I have a variety pack of gasket material. Was waiting to see what original material is used once tank is apart. It's tedious but may have to make own. Would trust better if I used a gas safe tack sealant. Any suggestions?
Was hoping to find FIPG.....easier and quicker, I'm working under relatively harsh conditions.
Research so far, all FIPG manufacturers info say do not use in contact with gasoline especially silicone based!

Hey I stumbled onto another thread specifically about FIPG /RTv s. "What Seal Packing (gasket material) do you prefer". Permatex has three products mentioned including hylomar that are ok with gasoline.
Thanx everyone I'm back to working instead of surfing.
SwampFox... been there done that. reminds me of days living in Africa where ingenuity and brawn meant survival. No Auto Zone down the road.
