Default replace fuel pump wire connector

I've got to replace the connector at the fuel pump on my 89. One wire and also the connector appears to be somewhat burned and melted. I have found a Standard brand replacement pigtail #S722.
My question is: anyone know of a fuel resistant heat shrink tubing?

Thanks
Joel

….. Nylon toilet seat bolt … drilled though end to end to just pass 12ga wire … inserted through the original connector hole (knocked the locater tang off) with fuel line O-rings on both sides … works better than new …..

That is quite the repair. Good idea. But all I'm doing is a quick splice.

Thanks
