Clipper47, I would say that if your engine block and fuel pump mounting surfaces are clean and straight that gasket cement/sealer is not needed. You may want to stick the gasket to the pump to make it easier to install the pump. An old trick we used to do this was to apply a thin film of grease to temporarily hold the gasket in place. This is an insulating gasket, not the thinner gasket paper that is more commonly used on other cars.
