Just googled silicone grease for gasoline….

FWIW…. I installed tank today, including the filler pipe and new grommet….
I read MANY threads about how much of a PITA getting the pipe into the grommet and tank. I guess i lucked out, slid right in with very little resistance. I think ill coat the outside of the grommet rim with the Permashield to be on the safe side….

I use denatured achohol when pressing anything rubber onto metal. Never heard of it in all my professional career. Tried it and wow you can push 5/16” line onto 3/8 nipple. You have to keep it wet because it evaporates quickly. I also put my donuts into a achohol gas bucket overnight to make sure it is compatible. Opening my shop door to the smell of gas and seeing a flood of gas on floor from a failed donut was really a scary experience. Something I don’t ever want again.
