For starters, the proper epoxy for the application does not deteriorate from exposure to gasoline or oil. I really don't know where you guys are getting this from. As for JB Weld, I can't vouch for that, but epoxy is what the resin coating is on magnet wire. This is the exact same wire that is in the oil-bathed transformers on every pole for your house, business, power station etc etc. It's also the wire that is in every fuel-bathed pump in every electronic fuel-injected car. I have an old fuel-pump laying around, I'll cut it open and show you. The fuel flows right over the armature, over the commutator and brushes, everything. The only thing that fails on a fuel pump is the bushings, not the epoxy coating on the wire.
