Re: RTV sealant/Fuel pump

["Dave Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

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.
