compound. I brought some fuel resistant hylotyte from hylomar. Has anyone h
ad a similar experience? The design seems bound to fail as the fuel is sure

my tank, but I did pressurise it as much as my lungs would allow while obse
rving for bubbles in washing-up liquid wiped around the likely areas of esc
ape (old bicycle tube puncture finding technique). I had sealed around my M
od 60 tank probe with Loctite 5922, which I got from Grampian Fasteners. It
was recommended to me by Brian Fogg, who said that smearing it around the
flange of the sender had cured the cockpit fuel smell he'd had for a long t
ime. He got his from Halfords, but my local branch never seemed to be able
to get any in stock.=0A=0AHope this helps.=0A=0Ain friendship=0A=0ARowland
