The Carburetor Petcock on my WD45 is leaking around the threads. I replaced it with a new one but it still leaks. Is their a sealant that is resistant to gas?

I'd first try teflon tape. It is easy to use and readily comes apart again.

If it is leaking as you describe, I suggest you examine the threads very carefully with good light and a magnifying lens. The brass fittings seal up pretty well without any sealer. You may have a crack in the bowl around the threads. If you find a crack, you may be able to seal it up with JB weld but the fix will be fairly permanent. How to best use JB Weld will depend on the nature of the crack.

If you don't have a crack, the teflon tape should do it.
