    Still curious as to the reasons why PTFE sealant shouldn't be used...aviation grade or not?

    Hey Darinh,
    Sorry I haven't gotten back to you. I guess what I am trying to get across is that most PTFE Sealants are not anaerobic, which they should be for gasoline compatability. I'm not sure which Loctite product you are using
    but Loctite 565 is suitable for gasoline, as it states in the Technical Data
    Sheet. My airplane has PTFE thread sealant, but it is in locations suitable
    for its purpose, its not 565 which I didn't know about.
    I hope it's obvious why I am focusing on gasoline.

    Rocky
