John If it is made from Viton A grade that is classified as not suitable? must be B grade! Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pump, PRV , fuel lines and neck gasket were replaced about 3 years ago. I talcum powdered all the joints , when for an hour's run and noticed a very, very slight weep around the thread of one of the connectors. pic of both top connections, one dry, one damp around the thread. Would this be enough to cause a smell in the boot. If I remake the joint, would a coating on the thread of Hylomar blue be suitable? Be carful when tightening the one on top of the tank! I think it's braised in, so it can be twisted loose.. Don't ask me how I know. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil H 4 Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Thanks all. The fitting is fully tightened as Ken has stated over tightening could cause an issue. All the connectors supplied by Moss were replaced when the pump was about 3 years ago. I assume the threads are correct? Have applied PTFE tape and will take for a spin if the rain ever stops.
