Anyone know where I can get something to seal the lip of the filler hole on a motorcycle gas tank? Something that is super durable, 100% fuel resistant and will keep gas fumes from getting under the clear coat, causing bubbling around the filler hole. Color doesn't really matter.

I had found something from Innate, but it has now been discontinued. Not finding anything else when searching the internet.

No, but I have seen it so many times I am looking to avoid a possible long term failure point.

i repair this type of problem pretty often it is usually due to poor prep around the filler hole. i have never had a problem with the paint bubbling due to gas. if you prep well it shouldnt be a problem
