How about joining in the "Festival of Wings" up in Tennessee. Go go: http://www.mtug.us/ . From what I have been told, it is a great place to fly and camp and enjoy the company of other flyers. Will see you there maybe. Ted Cowan, Alabama, Slingshot driver.

I'm hesitant to use teflon tape, as little pieces are known to shred loose and find their way into carb jets. Someone on the list once mentioned a Permatex product that could be used for gas fittings that is permanently fuel-proof. I went to Napa Auto Parts, and found that there are about a dozen Permatex products available. Most are silicone based. One product claimed to be "fuel resistant." I need a goop that is fuel-PROOF. Does anyone have any recommendations what to use for this purpose?

He told me no permatex product claim a gasoline proof label anymore due to liability & constantly changing fuel additives in use. The Permatex N0.2 certainly worked for decades though it is the nastiest stuff to get off your hand! I use Permatex Hylomar HPF gasket dressing & flange sealant. It stays soft, holds a gasket & still allows changing its location, its extremely resistant to all solvents on my plane, good to 600 degree heat, works as anti-seize, doesn't foul sensors, & its easy clean up. ...Richard Swiderski -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Kirby Dennis Contr MDA/AL Subject: Kolb-List: Fuel-Proof Sealer --> Kolb-List message posted by: Kirby Dennis Contr MDA/AL Kolb Friends - I am installing fuel fittings on a gascolator, and need to seal the threads with an appropriate sealing goop.

Also my E-mail address has changed to NeilsenRM05@comcast.net. The difference is the 05. I find that I get MUCH better prices from Comcast if they think I'm a new customer or a returning old customer as I move back and forth between Michigan and Florida. The down side is I don't always get to keep my E-Mail address. I know I don't get that long term valued customer discount but oh well.

The majority of the old sealants were an alcohol reduced pine resin. Even the better ones today are reduced with iso-propanol. My favorite is "Blue Block" made by Hercules Chemical at fine plumbing suppliers everywhere. If you want teflon, try Chesterton TFE paste which has ground up teflon in it. I have used the Permatex Hylomar HPE as a dressing on an intake manifold gasket. -Works good and doesn't get hard and crusty. My box of potions and cures gets fuller each project. My thanks to R. Pike for suggesting GOOP, which I have used for lots of purposes. -BB, engine back on top, fixing a few things better the second time. do not archive On 11, May 2005, at 4:14 PM, Richard Swiderwski wrote: > --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Richard Swiderwski" > > > Dennis, > > I was talking to a permatex dealer yesterday.
