I need to seal up the fitting for my meth pump that is installed into the windshield washer fluid tank. I have tried RTV silicone, regular silicone, and JB Weld and they all start leaking after a couple weeks. Is there any type of sealant that is methanol compatible and won't degrade? I'm running 100% undiluted methanol.

JB didn't hold?? You sure you used it correctly? lmao, holy crap. What about MarineTex or AVTex...I used to use MarineTex under water, it held to anything. http://www.marinetex.com/
AVTex is similar
Whether you're a beginner or an expert mechanic. For any project from repairing a surf board to repairing a damaged hull, patching a fuel tank, sealing leaky rivets, preventing marine fouling, enhancing the beauty of a teak deck or many other boat and home repairs, you can rely on our uniquely formulated polymer systems.

I used "Amazing Goop" for the same application. Haven't had ANY issues. I chose this stuff because it bonds just about anything and also remains flexible so it bends, not cracks, when needed.
