Sealer on fuel line fittings

[Big Bore]

I have a custom milled billet fuel distribution manifold I'm using for a fuel bowl delete that is tapped for IP thread. I'm planning to use Rectorseal gas pipe sealer for the threads. I used it before on my other motor with no noticeable side affects. Any better options or reasons why I shouldn't use Rectorseal?

I also use Rectorseal the kind that is yellow and fuel rated. I like that a ton better then teflon tape which turns gooey in time.

Rectorseal is good, the only thing I have ever found that I liked more is the "heavy weight" it's got a boxing glove on it. I haven't been able to find it for a few years now though.

Why not use a JIC block and forget any sealing issues since the flare takes care of all?

Thats the way the block came when I bought it. My fittings are IP to JIC. Once the fittings are installed where I want them, they will stay there and only the lines will be removed if needed.

Ok.

 

[Big Bore]

Ok.

lol, I'm not sure how to take that. Does the way I'm doing it sound ok, or is there a problem I may not have considered?

 

[Marty]

No, you're fine. I use NPT to jic adapters.

I would use loctite 545. Ask any boilermaker what the best sealant for high pressure or hydraulic lines is and thats what they will tell you.
