I have not had anything that I used it on leak after applying a thin coating of Hylomar AF. Many of those applications are fully submerged in gasoline, oil, antifreeze, etc.

It is great inside the radiator hoses to help slip them on and to help keep them from weeping (without having to go crazy tight on the hose clamp). They also come off easier later, because it never hardens.

I have not used it on the carb body gasket, but I am sure that if I did, that carb would not weep. I use it on all the other gaskets on the carbs. I hate gas dripping off of the drain plug of a carb (the lowest point). Flattening the warped gasket surfaces true again is certainly important.

Thanks Jim for your reply. I certainly don't have anything to lose if it doesn't work, besides clean-up time. So I think I will give it a try. Thanks again.
