Default fuel tanks?

When making your own tanks using plastic like the r/c tank and brass or copper tubing what is a good sealant that works well? I have tried a couple different kinds but it doesn't hold up to the fuel or doesn't stick well to the plastic.
Thanks
Jim

Jim, Sorry I can't help. Thought about it but never tried it. I hope someone can give you a good answer!

For glow fuel SHOE GOO, PFM from Hobby Lobby, or ZAP-A-DAP GOO work as an adhesive/sealant. For a removable saelant RTV silicone works ok.

Thanks, I'll get some shoe goo. I tried some zap goo PT-12 it wouldn't hold wasn't very resistant to the glow fuel.
thanks again.
