Gasoline will not harm Loctite, however, use the blue, not the red. The red is designed to be removed only after the application of heat (500 degrees according to their website) In reality, I've found you can remove fasteners with red loctite on them with hand tools, but the red will require much more torque you to get them out....not good for small screws like on the carbs. The blue is designed to hold, but to be removable with hand tools.
The general rule we used when selecting them for auto racing was, blue for anything you may need to periodically service, red for anything that will likely be in place until the next major rebuild.
