That's what i meant to ask, RTV since it is silicon, it will not withstand gasoline. permatex ultra copper is also made of silicone, no idea is it worth the money.

Use heavyweight paper (like a file folder) and cut it into the right shape - - then use a thin coat RTV on both sides of the gasket

A sheet of gasket material is a couple bucks, just make one. Or worst case, use a chunk of cereal box.

I'd go to a lawn equipment shop and buy the right gasket. ebay also sells parts. The RTV will get in the reed valve and I doubt it would hold up anyway. If you're going to try using RTV buy the Permatex Ultra Copper. Auto parts stores carry it.
