keith w Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Should the fuel unions supplied with Facet Red tops be self sealng? I'm a bit timid about tightening them up but I think they should be ok without any form of sealant. Is that right? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wayne Scott Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 They are tapered, so should be fine, but I’ve always given the threads a light wrap of plumbers tape before tightening . Beware of over tightening! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Blue hylomar isn't intended for continuous exposure to petrol. The threads are tapered so petrol safe sealant or PTFE will help the sealing and thus reduce the smell of fuel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
