Ebiggs1,
When I bought my first cobra I had a recurring problem of the car would run out of gas(even though it had gas in the tank) you could wait a few minutes and it would start and run fine for maybe a mile and quit again. I changed fuel filters three times and then pulled the tank. Guess what I found in the suction tube of the tank?, a chunk of silicone, It was acting like a check valve, occasionally letting some gas by in small increments. I would advise against putting silicone anywhere near where you put in gas. My .02
