Fuel Tank Replacement

It's a liquid sealant, like pipe dope, that has teflon in it. Advantage of it over the tape is. It gets into the threads a little easier then the tape. It is easier to use then the tape too.

I wouldn't use Lock Tight on the plug. You might want to remove it. Also, it is a pipe thread, which is tapered, and doesn't need the locking of Loktite..

OK, it is done. I put the new tank in yesterday. No problems except for the mouthful of gas I got when I tried to siphon the last of the fuel out of the tank. The inside of the old one was a mess. Lots rust, etc. I'm surprised that the car ran at all with the garbage that was being sent from the tank. Thanks for all the advice. E.
