Thanks for your reply, I will try several suggestions.
Meanwhile, this person responded to using goop for my fuel pump gasket
shown below, Id like your reaction please. I am using the orange colored
(but in a red tube) Permatex Hi-Temp RTV Silicone Gasket Maker. I also have
a tube of something similar, also made by Permatex and called Ultra Black
Hi-Temp RTV Silicone Gasket Maker. The instructions on the first goop says
spread a bead from 1/16-1/4 thick on the part, while the Black goop says to
spread an even continuous 1/8 bead on the part. With my shaking hands, I
chose the former.
But if gas does this, Id rather order a paper gasket. Now that I think
about it- the gasket really should have no contact with gas, right?

If you have done this successfully before, more power to you. I reassembled
my fuel pump with "gasket maker goop" and where it came in contact with the
fuel the fuel softened it and a year later I found little pieces clogging
about every opening in my carbs. The beautiful part of the story is that
the car died idling in my garage. I wouldn't use that stuff on a fuel pump
again.
