If you cannot readily obtain or make the proper gasket, I have used O rings in AC pumps.
A pump which leaks petrol will also leak air and may operate erratically.
Very mnay pumps on other cars operate below petrol level. When disconnecting often convenient to raise the front high.
It is annoying but the classic unions, olives etc of older cars are vastly more prone to leak than the crude clamped tubing of moderns. Still not excuse to use on a vinatge.
