Worked fine during the summer, but last weekend it was the dickens to pull out and push back in. - Mike Yep -- the product is called "Fuel Lube," available from Aircraft Spruce (P/N 09-25300) @ $22.95 per 1-lb can. The stuff is also good for fuel valves -- I have the old, cone-shaped, cork type, which needs a VERY light coating of the cork every couple of years. A 1# can is about a 1000 year supply for the average airplane owner. It is also good to seal oil screen flanges, magneto bosses and drain plugs, fuel cap gaskets, etc. I also used it to lube the O-rings in my electric mogas pump, as unleaded mogas has very little lubrication value. It is a very waxy substance and resists fuel and oil. |
