I have heard to use molasses; I did and no leaks. I guess the same idea as with maple syrup, the sugar is not soluble in gasoline. may be why the nasty trick of "sugar in the fuel tank" disabled a car.
Also , thinking ... Maple syrup if you live up north and molasses for the folks down south.
A suspect that any sealant that is hydrocarbon based will eventually fail after long time emersion in gasoline.
