Gordo - JB Weld will hold up for a long time, but it won't last indefinitely immersed in gas.
I've patched several carb floats, strainer screens etc. with JB. Discovered that after 6 - 8 years of exposure to gas the JB tends to soften and lose its bond.
(Incidentally I found the same thing happens to JB when it's continually immersed in motor oil.)
I'm sure there are gas-resistant epoxies, etc. out there - I just don't know what they are.
Any way you can solder the standpipes in place? (Probably not because the sediment bulb body is likely zinc diecast...). Or can you expand 'em (work 'em a bit over a suitable mandrel, etc to start a bit of a flare at the end) to give 'em a light interference fit into the strainer assembly?

For sealing the sediment bulb threads in the tank bottom, regular old teflon tape works fine and it lasts indefinitely.
