fuel line sealant

Post by captain don »

Part of the restoration process on my F-32 will be to install new fuel tanks. I want to insure no leaks in the future and am considering the use of a sealant on the threaded fittings ( teflon tape, locktite, etc. ) any thoughts? Thanks, C. Don

Sealant

Flared compression fittings don't require sealant. For threads I use gasoila E-seal. It is what most gas stations and petroleum distributors use and e-10 and e-85 safe.
