Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2011 2:03 pm Post subject: Finger strainer screens

Should I pro-seal in the finger strainer screens in the  fuel tanks or use some other thread sealing compound?  I'm not using the  pro seal on the drain sumps in the bottom of the wings simply because I can get  to them without removing the wings.  What kind of thread sealing compound  is anyone using??

  

 Thanks,

 Bill

Just use a standard thread sealing compound like White Seal or

Bakerseal.  Proseal would make them pretty difficult to ever remove.

There's not much risk of them backing out.

Parker TiteSeal is about as good as it gets. Of course the smallest

quantity you can get is enough for 500 RV-10s.

I used fuel lube/ez turn on all but brake lines. Been holding fuel for three weeks now.

All pipe threads (NPT) should have something like Seal Lube on them. You want the finger strainer to be removable, so Pro Seal will make it permanent. All flare fittings should be assembled dry.
