yep, do a search for this.

but to help a little bit, I use the red semi-hardening hermatite stuff anbd it is fine (the blue stuff says not for immersion in petrol on the back - this was used, not buy me, before and had gone soft).

Don't put sealer near it --- if you can avoid it.

Twas I who used blue stuff to seal sender unit on tank.

Still finding it in fuel filter, fortunately, that's as far as it's getting now I changed filters!
