You typically have a about 20-30 minutes to work it and can set up can be 2 hours to 12 hours@70'F depending what kind you buy. Once mixed it doesn't matter, use a little or lot but the whole thing will harden up. Its stays pretty pliable even when cold, little shrinkage but its expensive. Probably about 40 bucks for a small tube the size of a large tube of toothpaste. I've never fixed a gas tank or filler neck with it but it works great in a kerosene/aviation fuel environment.

88Ironduke is correct. This stuff is terrific. We also use it all the time and works very well. You can also use AMS-S-8802 to seal a leaking fuel tank. This is the same stuff used to seal aircraft fuel tanks. Can be purchased many places....aircraft spruce, McMaster Carr, ebay.
