None. You shouldn't need any on the float bowls. Use slightly thicker gaskets if the joint faces are poor.

If 2 gaskets don't work and you still feel the need to use a sealant, Permatex 3 is your manAlan H wrote:Use 2.

Syd you can improve your gasket seal by gently rubbing the float bowl surface on a flat piece of fine emery paper or wet and dry. Make sure the emery paper is on a flat hard surface. After a bit of rubbing look at the bowl you can then see the high points. Just continue until it's flat.
