Answer 1

If you shape it into a flattish balloon with bellows on the edges teflon sheetcan be squashed and then reexpanded.

How about Nalgene or Neoprene?

If you are looking for a hose formulation that is used commercially for gasoline transfer try Goodyear Orange Flexwing

Answer 2

Polytetrafluoroethylene is known as teflon sheet that is flexible and also little elastic. I recommended you to visit the source link to get the information and the what type of teflon sheet you really need.

Answer 3

Yes. very based on my use of Teflon tape which is very thin and is very elastic. It is used for sealing metal plumbing pipes. I do not have experience with sheets of Teflon only blocks.
Run down to Home Depot and pick up a roll for a couple bucks.

Answer 4

I would recommend that you look at venerable old Viton for your needs. It comes in several versions with differing rates of expansion and temperature characteristics. Good for fuel applications, especially if you've got both standard fossil based fuels and ethanol to deal with concurrently.
