Trying to assemble a diesel fuel polishing device from filters,
pipes ( nipples ), gauges, magnet, a pump, hoses and many valves. Loctite 242 used by one manufacturer, Loctite 55 sold for the purpose by plumbing supply company. The usual sodden wharf rat layabouts urge teflon tape - but every article or book which mentions teflon tape and diesel fuel warn against the stuff - use the engine as a mooring after using teflon... Guess I will be calling polisher manufacturers asking what they use. And, possibly L55 lockd nipple and fitting in a jar of diesel fora week or two? Would have been cheaper and a lot less painful to have bought a small commercially bult polisher. A lot cheaper! One mo marine looking ball valves such as the full size 1/4 NPT valves from "Apollo," are they OK for marine use carrying diesel? Thanks, Bligh |
