G'day everyone,

I have installed a Victa 2 stroke fuel tap on a scrap yard find a while ago. Anyway what I noticed is there is a very slow seeping leak of petrol from the tank that looks like it's coming from the thread area where the tap screws into the bottom of the tank.

I have some of that plumbers white teflon thread seal tape here but I don't know if this stuff is suited for sealing up threads that are in contact with petrol.

I also have some old Permatex Number 3 soft setting sealant in the shed that I used many years ago to seal up water pump bolts and gaskets on vehicles. Again I don't know if this stuff is suitable for threads in contact with petrol.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

Zip a dee doo dah, zip a dee ay, another trash picked Victa, hip hip Hooray!
