Many thanks for all replies. Seems that at fluid sealant will be the way to
go.
I only have max. allowed torque for the flow sensor into which the 1/4" NPT
AN fitting will go (25 ft.lbs.), not the recommended torque for the AN
fitting itself. Apologize for expressing myself differently.
Regards,
Svein
>Incidentally what are the recommended torques for 1/8" & 1/4" NPT,
>and where did you find a reference to them?

Congratulations Keith and what a fine specimen it appears to be. Very
nice indeed.
Now what is that green stuff on which you have parked the aircraft? We
haven't got any of that over here. What a blast being able to take-off
on beautiful grass like that!!
I'm sure you will have many hours of enjoyment ahead - Say, who is going
to be the first to fly a Europa across the Tasman?
Cheers

Well done Keith.
Now you need some "places visited" stickers in the decor ! Like we just did France,Spain,
Portugal, Gibraltar, Majorca, ...home........We'll settle for townships
on North and South Island NZ for starters !

Jeff,
I am very glad you literally got the fix in!
I also have the larger fuel system access hatch thanks to Russell.
But all you guys on this thread are still quoting up a storm.
Please be considerate and stop this practice. In this day and age,
Nobody needs massive, or even ANY quoting!
Quoting is just a total was of bandwidth
Just use the Matronics forum web site and forget the crappy old
EMail interface
forums.matronics.com
Thanks,
Ira

Hi Svein,
Never use teflon tape in the Fuel system.
The reason is that tape shreds and those shreds can get into the
fuel stream and clog your carb, especially if the particular fitting
is downstream from filters.
Use instead PTFE Pipe compound as suggested. it is a paste
available at places like Home Depot or plumbing shops.
Good Luck,
Ira

Rick, all
Don't know what happened here but try it again. Attached is the
spreadsheet with some more additions
Also I like to suggest that we try to meet at , lets say each day at
12PM local time at the Home-built Headquarters, just south of the north
(Experimental) Aircraft display near the flight line.
Hope to see you all at KOSH
Michael Grass
PS: Ira and Ferg
The truncated "quote" below at an old 1200 baud telephone modem
connection which is on of the first modems around the 1992 area would
eat up another long 1 second (about 120 characters per second). It is
the attachments what would eat up bandwidth. Not a couple lines of plain
text. This line also ate another second away which I apologize for
already in advance.
Sorry, could not help to comment.

Hi Svein,
For any threaded fuel joints I recommend that you use Hylomar sealant
which is a non-hardening product developed by Rolls Royce many years
ago. It is used widely in many high performance applications. You can
find information and suppliers with a Google search for "Hylomar" or
"Permatex Hylomar". You need the 'Universal Blue' product. For clean up,
you can use methylene chloride.
I do not recommend that you use Teflon tape. This product is forbidden
in the petro-chemical industry after catastrophic plant failures have
been traced back to small pieces of tape which have blocked critical
control instrumentation orifices.
Cheers, John

Should I use any kind of sealing on NPT threads in the fuel system (e.g.Locktite)
or do these threads seal just by using the recommended torque? Regards, Svein
