I was looking at water proof connections, they recommended petroleum jelly and heat shrink tube. From that, I would assume heat shrink is compatible with petroleum.
But I couldn't find anything about splicing in a petroleum base solvent environment, so I looked at splicing inside a fuel tank. All I found were forums.
