Re: Fuel regulator mounting
The only thread sealer that should be used is a paste type ( i use a permetex product, 765-1188 i believe is the NAPA number). BUT, the sealer should only be used on pipe thread connections such as those going into the regulator.
DO NOT use it on the flared connections.
The -AN fittings (37 degree flares) as well as SAE (45 degree flares--such as brake lines and such) are meant to seal on the flareing surface only. The threads only make the connection--not the seal. On -AN flared connections---especially with aluminum fittings, a light oil should be used sparingly on the threads to prevent gaulling of the threads.
If i misunderstood what you are using the sealer for, i am sorry. They way i was reading seemed like you were headed in the wrong direction. Just a little FYI, as i have seen sealer used in many places were it should not be used.
