AdamB Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Use PTFE tape, don't glue it or you'll never get it back out!Use what the threads are designed to take. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
00joeindastarb0 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 PTFE will break down over time due to the additives in fuel.Loctite produce a specific thread sealant right for the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 PTFE will break down over time due to the additives in fuel. Loctite produce a specific thread sealant right for the job. Had mine off a few weeks ago after about 5 years of running and the tape was completely intact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TurboTobz Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Use the ptfe it's worked for so many and if it doesn't work it's easy to remove then move on to loctite Quote Link to post Share on other sites
triple j Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Use a small bit ptf and keep it below the ends of the thread, be tidy with it and the fuel will never get near it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
