In aircraft, we use a different sealer. It's not white like latex. It's either gray or brown depending on the brand. A lot of aircraft have wet wings so the rivets also have to be sealed at installation or anytime they start to leak. 100LL Avgas doesn't have any alcohol in it. It's about the best quality gasoline type fuel refined & blended in this day and age.
