It's not, diesel mechanics never use teflon tape for anything because small pieces of it can break off and clog injectors. They use lliquid sealants like Permatex or Loctite instead. I suppose the new Loctite tape is a no-no with Diesels too? I would not use it downstream of the filters. Liquid sealant is actually easier to use than tape in my experience. Removal is no problem if you use the right stuff. Did the op suggest why he wants to use the "wrong" stuff when the right stuff is so easy? The op - me - was unaware of the right stuff. I'm familiar with pipe dope but I don't keep it around the house and wouldn't have thought it would be any better. |
