Hi, I used these on my 8 and am quite pleased. N542E has 61 hours now since April 11th.

Be careful lubricating aluminum flare "B" nut unions....no lubricant is nec essary and I personally do not recommend it.- Over torquing of the assy i s more possible where all you need is good clean dry threads and clean smoo th flares. --- On Wed, 10/1/08, Matt Dralle wrote: From: Matt Dralle Subject: RV8-List: Bakerseal Or EZTurn? What are the pros and cons of Bakerseal vs. EZTurn for installing all of the AN Blue fittings? I've got some of both and am about to do the fittings for the fuel filter and fuel pump. They definitely have different consistences - Bakerseal is kind of caulky and thick, and EZTurn is kind of smooth and sticky like tooth paste. Van's says, "either one". What's the common feeling on these products? I assume that you just gunk some nicely on the end of the fitting and then screw it tightly into the other part and wipe up the excess? What about the flared fittings? Do you put it on the inside of the flare too, or just the threads for the nut? Thanks for the help!
