A question for the gluesist`s

[Burdekin]

Silicon would be fine I'd reckon and cheap.

Hylomar blue

Diesel's a pig to be resistant to but that's fairly good. It's an RTV like compound so doesn't set hard.

If it's anything like normal RTV you'll need to get the surfaces nice and clean. Ideally key them a bit too (I know ones a gasket but wash it and get rid of as much dust as you can).

silicone breaks down with fuel and goes all squishy then try cleaning it out of your carburettors . been there and done it

A relatively unknown product which comes in a variety of flavours: Amazing Goop.

It can be thinned with toluene for delicate applications or even for potting components.

evo stick once its cured is pretty oil and petrol proof we use it to stick the rubber gaskets on to rocker covers

 

[awemawson]

Can those metal tabs not be bent slightly to retain the gasket ?

Try some hot melt glue - you would need to warm the spout up as well.

Will break down with petrol.

How about inner tube puncture repair solution?

I would try a two part Bison polyurethane adhesive, its available in small size packs & will stick just about anything. I used some a couple of years ago to glue a plastic part subject to oil & vibration & it stuck like the proverbial to a blanket.

don't mention bison glue to me once glued the rubber manifolds to the metal flanges on the carburettors of my microlite supposedly the rubber to metal stuff. took off out of a field and got to 200 foot and the bloody carbs fell off it was my 1st and last emergency landing in a corn field just missing a tree and a hedge

@brightspark
I thought take of was brute force over gravity.

But landings were a controlled crash.

A guy in the club bought a car that had had the fuel sender sealed into the tank with silicone sealant - he removed it but would still have to spend the odd day removing "gorilla snot" from the fuel system for quite some time.

That would put me off it i must admit, but surely carbys should have bolts as well?

Warm it using a blow torch for instant eyebrow removal.....
I use Wurth super RTV and it seems pretty good.ebay link,

The spout not the can!

Polyurethane.

 

[Screwdriver]

Also there is superglue and superglue. Most consumer stuff is pretty thin rubbish cut with cheap additives. You could try this:

Industrial strength, rubberised.
