Svein - I've been using Loctite 577 (originally recommended to me by
Graham Singleton) but have yet to test its effectiveness as my fuel
system is still dry. I would NOT use any tape sealant as it's
impossible to ensure that small pieces are not set adrift inside the
fuel system - to lead to a bad day sometime later.
Incidentally what are the recommended torques for 1/8" & 1/4" NPT,
and where did you find a reference to them?
regards
Rowland
