Does anyone know if an led would survive being in constant contact with petrol?

Could a clear solvent-safe sealant be used to separate contact with gas?

 

i think that the led might stand up to most solvents.

 

Most LEDs are molded in epoxy though some are silicone. Epoxies generally have excellent resistance to gasoline but for chemical resistance of a specific LED, consult the manufacturer or their published data.

LEDs can also be encapsulated in silicone after they're manufactured or assembled.

 

LED's are cheap, drop one in a jar of gas and see how it looks in a week.

 

Thanks. I'll give it a go.

 

Gotz a death wish ???

Be very judicious about placing any electric device near any flammable solvent !!!
well.........after it's in circuit and lighting it up anyhoo.....

 

Led sat in gas for a week. Uneventful...works fine and still solid.
