fuel fittings

[rcbeam]

What should I use to seal brass fuel screw fitting connections?  Seems like I've read most don't like teflon tape.  I am redoing some of the fittings at the filter housings, etc and don't want any more lost prime issues or leaks.

Thanks again,

I don't use much tape I use liquid Teflon only draw back it cost 10 bucks for a 3oz tube but it is good stuff

good luck

I've been using gas pipe dope.  It seems to work fine.  I use a lot of the Loctite liquid teflon dope too, on my race cars, but it's not rated (as far as I know) for gas so I happen to have a couple tubes of the other stuff.

Never heard of liquid teflon... I'll have to see if I can find that... if not, might just use pipe dope.

I use this stuff. http://www.rectorseal.com/index.php?site_id=1&product_id=214 You can often get it from your local plumbing supply store. It is awesome stuff!

FWIW
