Mike, I'm assuming that you're uneasy about loose connections and possible arcing. If it will give you peace of mind, there's no reason why you can't solder the connection as well as crimp.

I soldered mine and put heatshrink around the wires. It ended up looking very clean and almost water tight. I don't know how well "heatshrink" will standup to Gasoline though..
