Are you certain it's the seals that leak ?  There is a plug in the float bowl 
between the two seal surfaces that might be leaking
... or the bowl casting itself might be porous.

You could try using Hylomar as a sealant, it's supposed to be able to stand up 
to gasoline.  But I've never had any trouble getting
new seals to seal for at least a few months (even though they only last a few 
years at best).  That is a special washer on the
mounting bolts, which should be only slightly concave if at all.  Any chance 
yours has been replaced with a hardware store item ?
