This resin needs to be chemical resistant to fuels and more flexible than the resin used in the tank structure. Mine is a three components epoxy resin and is installed for more than 10  years and flying for almost 3 years with no leaks.

For me, I would get the best stuff possible, rather than use resin.  Once the tank is together, going back later if there is a leak that developed after hours of flying is not very enticing.  Seems to me that resin is at the bottom of the acceptable list of materials to use.  Any flexing of the tank could cause a resin crack.

Subject: [LML] Header tank

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who responded to my original post about sealing the header tank. From those responses the consensus seems to be that a couple of coats of resin will suffice.

 

Thanks again .

 

Regards.
