Default question fuel polishing brass bronze whatever piping adhesive

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
