I think I've seen that kind of material, is it kind of chunks of cork in a black rubber matrix? I certainly wouldn't use that around gasoline but the cork I've used for gasket materials is simple basic sheet cork which you can buy in varying thicknesses at most auto parts stores for from industrial supply houses like MSC. And as I've said, never a problem using it around gasoline applications.

As owen said. Been using regular old cork gasket material for about 25 years now and never a problem. Why try to reinvent the wheel. Go to a good parts store and they will have several thicknesses. Buy all the paper gaskets also, and with a small ball pean hammer make all your own gaskets in about five minutes.

It's not the wheel that's been reinvented, it's the fuel. Today's fuel is not like the fuel from 30 years ago.
