Fragments can get into carburetor jets or injector orifices and block the
flow.


The only way tape fragments can enter the system is if the tape is applied
incorrectly, another case of a fine product getting dissed because of
human error.



Yes, if you leave 2 threads uncovered at the end, the tape will not enter
the system when you assemble it. But, the next time you disassemble it, bits
may be left on the threads which may then get pushed into the sytem when you
re-assemble.

I ain't diss'n nothing. I've used miles of the stuff myself.
