I'm looking for a sealant or kit to seal brass NPT inserts into a
polyethylene tank. This is a Kitfox header tank that has developed a
leak at
one of the inserts. I'm probably going to use Mogas that has ethanol
additives. Any hints, tips, thoughts?
Thanks,

Red high temperature silicon sealer. Local hardware store. Clean the
threads with alcohol and apply sealer. Lasts forever.
I'd check the label first. Last time I looked, it specifically excluded
use near gasoline.
The kinds I've seen will swell up & shed chunks into the fuel system.
