rlubikey Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 PTFE tape. Plumbers' tape (white bobbin) for small threads, Gas tape (yellow bobbin) for >= 3/4" BSP Cheers, Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Thread sealants are either epoxies or cyanolacrylates. The latter are MORE resisistant to petrol that they are to water (!) according to the Permabond site: http://www.permabond.com/2015/07/02/cyanoacrylate-adhesive-environmental-resistance/ And so are epoxies: https://www.jbweld.com/pages/faqs Alcohol fuel is a different story.

dougbgt6 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 If you were resistant to it, then you could drink more of it? Sounds good to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hello Darren. I was using some Granville Lock Thread the other day and I happened to note the following: seals threads against leaks or corrosion and seals pipework joints on petrol, oil and hydraulic systems. May be of assistance & hope that helps ?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Granville-Thread-Lock-Sealant-Nut-Bolt-Screw-Adhesive-Vibration-Resistant-10ml-/131851587937?hash=item1eb2f79161:g:KDMAAOSw3YNXZCnk Regards.
