Default Sealant for polyethylene fuel tank?

Hey Rob,

Before you mess up a perfectly good tank....

Just back that brass insert out. It's a pipe thread. Clean up the
mess as best you can.

I've have very good service using the thread sealant that Aircraft
Spruce sells called EZ Turn. I sealed every joint in the fuel system
that used that old white sealant. Some of them were leaking esp. at
the fiberglass wing tanks.

Also try surfing the matronics Kitfox list.

Cheers,
