Default Heat Shrink Tubing - Fuel Resistant?

When replacing the in tank pump everyone is really concerned with the fuel line being submersible and the wiring being fuel resistant but how about the heat shrink tubing? Is there special heat shrink tubing too? I'm going to be going dual Walbros soon and I definitely don't want to use butt connectors whether they're fuel resistant or not.

A lot of shrink tubing is not fuel resistant & will swell/slip off.

If you build the harness properly, there is no need for splices in the tank.

Well I don't want to wire one to come on under boost. I just want them both running all the time so the idea was to tie them in together inside the tank. I have a BAP that I will turn down so it only supplies 14V at all times but has the bigger gauge wiring to feed them.

Do a search for Raychem DR-25 or Deray V25. These are fuel resistant heatshrink tubing.
