before i go ahead and install my gas tank back in, i'm kind of skeptical about using the butt-connectors they provided. Is there any reason why i SHOULDN'T use solder along with some heat shrink?? will the gasoline in time dissolve the solder???

Yeah, I personally don't trust the butt connectors. I have previous soldered my Walbro installs without any problems. The gasoline will not melt the solder. Solder it and use marine grade heatshrink and you will be good to go.
