Hey Afourians!
I ran into this stuff on line and have ordered some to check it out.
Not trying to reinvent the wheel, but with ethanol issues this may be something new that is needed.
So far I have been able to not put any ethanol into my new tank, but you never know when you might have to if in a bind for gas...
Here is a description of the product by the manufacturer:
"Gasoila E-seal pipe thread sealant is a green paste that seals and lubricates NPT threads on metal pipes used with ethanol-blended gasoline. The sealant includes PTFE to help lubricate and prevent corrosion on pipe threads, joints, fittings, hoses, nozzles, pump assemblies, oil burners, hydraulics, bolts, compressors, engines, motors, fuel lines and couplings. The sealant is non-toxic. It can be used on all metals, including brass, copper, stainless steel, aluminum, black pipe, tin, and galvanized steel. The sealant has excellent resistance to gasoline and ethanol-blended petroleum, including E10 and E85, as well as petroleum solvents, kerosene diesel oil, biodiesel propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas, cutting oils, ammonia, aliphatic solvents, acids and steam. When applied as recommended, the compound seals pipe thread connections up to 10,000 psi for liquids and up to 3,000 psi for gases. The sealant has a temperature range from -100 to +600 degrees F (-74 to +318 degrees C). The sealant meets Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards
Pipe thread sealants are used in pipe connections to help prevent liquid and gas leaks. The sealant compound is applied to pipe threads, typically with a brush, prior to assembly to fill gaps between the threads for a tight seal. Sealants also act as a lubricant for installation, and may include additives such as PTFE to help prevent corrosion and seizing of components."
Anybody have any experience with it?
It is green.....well if it works I can overlook the color.
Cheers!
