I used silicone......it stays plyable.
My 1994 kit came with what looks like a black rubber filler neck for a car or truck fuel tank. It is 2.25 inches ID by three inches long. It was to connect the neck to the tank using hose clamps. Unfortunately the plastic neck and tank inlet are 2.5 inches OD. It didn't fit.
I ended up using a plumbing pipe splice rubber sleeve for a water pipe. It was suggested by another builder at the time. He had used one and no problems. Mine's been on for three years now and no effects from fuel. I am using fuel with no alcohol.
If you can use the 2.25 ID one that came with my kit you can have it. I am heading to a fire in AZ in a couple minutes but should be able to check back when I get internet in a few days.
