What sealant/adhesive/whatever won't dissolve in gasoline?

In the middle of replacing the fuel pump on the '94 DI and the wiring for the Masters E3420 is a micro space connecter (almost like a computer type connection) and the existing wiring was a large standard spade. So however I end up attaching it, I don't have an actual harness to snap in there and after the connection is made want to fill the space with something...

So what won't dissolve in gasoline? Black silicone? JB Weld (though that's very permanent), hell, hot glue? I just need something after it's connected to prevent jarring and jostling.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I actually just found a harness laying around the garage that works perfectly. I wasn't so much concerned with the connection (I have micro spades here), but just the space around it. Thanks!

There are kits for restore a gas tank that sometimes contain a sealant. May want to google that.

there is a place to buy it online. or if there is a general aviation shop around you that sells parts just tell them u need some B 1/2 pro-seal. that is a pot life of half hour. if u want longer time to work it then ask for B2, thats 2 hr pot life. at about 70 deg F it will cure in 24 hrs. its a 2 part epoxy mixed 10:1. it comes in small pint cans as well, but the tubes are easiest to use. of course if u dont have a dispenser gun then maybe its not easier. the advantage to the cans is that u only mix what u need and put the rest in the freezer or fridge to make it last longer on the shelf.
kind of a pain in the ass to go to all that trouble when u just need a small blob of it. but there is nothing like it for sealing fuel. keep in mind you probably will never be able to get what ever it is back apart again.
