    Pingel question

    What kind of sealant can I use to stop fuel from leaking between the Pingel fuel valve and my tank? I have made about 3 gaskets for the thing and none of them work- I need to use some goop.

    The Pingel people are really nice and helpful. I would suggest you email them and I'm pretty sure they'll be happy to send you a new gasket and a little package of the blue sealant. They send things quickly and I feel sure they'll send it for free.

      Go to your local auto parts store, and look in the RTV section. They have some goop that doesn't harden, but creates a good seal. It is not RTV, they just put it in the same section. The color of the stuff is blue, so it may be the same stuff Pingel sends you.
