Answer This Question
A:Â This is great product for working with electrical items. I use it all the time.
I suggest you contact 3M Tech Service to confirm, not sure ethylene propylene, which is what this product is made from, is not compatible with gasoline.
Unless it was an emergency I would not try and fix the spout on a gas can. It is sure to leak again and at the wrong time in the wrong place. This could be a real hazard. Best thing to do is buy an new spout or gas can.

Plastic electrical tape is ok for protecting connections but Scotch 2228 is better because it can be molded to fit sealing out all moisture. Great for outdoor use.
