Actually, the pin connection is on top of the plastic fuel pump housing, outside of the fuel tank. It is normally sealed off from gasoline, until you have a problem like this which results in a hole in the fuel chamber. Dielectric, I'm hoping, will reduce the chance of that hole reoccurring, thereby keeping the fuel and its vapors away from the connection.
