| Subject: | Re: Thread lube for fuel filler |
Tim,
My experience was like yours. I had a 50% success rate in getting my fuel filler
necks off for the mods. I used the permatex sealant but probably used it on
more threads than really necessary. When I re-installed the filler necks, I
made sure to only use the permatex on the last group of threads. Now I will
not know how well I have set myself up for future removals, and I hope not to
have to test it any time soon. The amount of sealant was adequate to seal the
threads during last years flying season.
Whatever you use, just use it sparingly.
Good luck,
--------

When I ordered the stuff to make up fuel hoses from Summit Racing, one of t
he things recommended was an anti-seize compound. I used what was provided
(a blue paste) on all the aluminum threaded connections. I had to un-do s
everal connections and had no trouble. Has anyone tried this stuff on the
fuel filler neck threads?

Guys
We built ( 2 ) 601's and used "Gasola" on the tank filler threads.
It is a fuel proof sealant that can be purchased at any warehouse that handles
petroleum products.
It works on all kinds of metals. I can remove my filler nozzles with hand pressure
only.

GasOila is good stuff but it is the same stuff as liquid pipe dope with PTFE
that you can get locally at Lowes and such.

Fuel lube (EZ Turn) is what I used. I was able to remove the filler necks easily
when I did the upgrade to each wing. I also used liberal amounts of fuel lube
on top of the fuel senders on the end of each tank. I have not had any leaks
yet with the few gallons of 100LL I have in each tank.
