Wow, that's an eye opener.  Go Mopar.

Yes, interesting..   But, why spend half of the video testing the amount of adhesive strength ?   They are RTV sealants not glue !!   I was impressed with the pressure test for the seal failing on the Mopar brand.   Looks like it is the best for the money.  However, none of the local auto parts stores sale the stuff. 

I will say this...i have used "The Right Stuff" and it flat out works.   My only issue with it is that once you open and use the product, forget trying to seal the tube and then used it again later...   No way...   So dont buy larger tubes than you will use because its also expensive.

Very interesting indeed, and almost perfect timing. I just pulled my fuel pump to replace it and was going to use the Permatex. But now I think I'll head to the dealership to get the Mopar. I really don't want to be fixing leaks for at least a year +
