 |

Getting ready to leak test my QB Wing tanks and was wondering about the Fuel Tank Strainers. I assume that they should be torqued in but they should be able to come back out, right? I'm thinking either loc-tite or teflon tape, but I'm a newbie on this.

You don't want teflon tape anywhere it could leave little slivers in
your fuel or oil systems. Great for home plumbing, not for aircraft.

John,
Order a tube (I bought a can, duh, enough for two lifes) of fuel lube from Aircraft Spruce or others...it is used on all the threads in the fuel system, no loctite or tape..

Thanks for the feedback; I sort of suspected that teflon tape was a no-no. It just so happens Aircraft Spruce is 4 miles away from me, so I'll get the tube of fuel lube. Thanks again.
