A couple of answers - first, RTV will dissolve in gas in short order. Any of it that falls into the tank will do Bad Things to the fuel distributor or injectors. Bad Idea. Also - there is no way that the gas is coming up through the boot and sitting on top of the pump unless you completely forgot the hose clamp that holds the pump into the boot, or the boot is totally destroyed. One of the banjo fittings or hose fittings above the pump is leaking. Check those, and maybe replace the brass o-rings around the banjo fittings.
