Need some methanol compatible sealant
I need to seal up the fitting for my meth pump that is installed into the windshield washer fluid tank. I have tried RTV silicone, regular silicone, and JB Weld and they all start leaking after a couple weeks. Is there any type of sealant that is methanol compatible and won't degrade? I'm running 100% undiluted methanol.

JB didn't hold?? You sure you used it correctly? lmao, holy crap. What about MarineTex or AVTex...I used to use MarineTex under water, it held to anything. http://www.marinetex.com/
AVTex is similar

I used "Amazing Goop" for the same application. Haven't had ANY issues. I chose this stuff because it bonds just about anything and also remains flexible so it bends, not cracks, when needed.
