Petrol Leaking from Pump and filter

[Carslil Jim]

Hi,
I recently had to replace the petrol pump, and of course the line to the filter has to be loosened. Regrettably I now have leaks at each of the screw on joints which I have tightened to the max.

Is thee something like plumbers tape I can use on these threads to get them to seal?

Worth a try I think, it works for other threads. I am reliably informed Teflon Tape was apparently introduced for the Petroleum industry.




Teflon tape is less messy
High-density pink tape is used on water lines; yellow tape is designed for gas-line use. White tape (often low density) is used on water lines.

What could possibly go wrong? [bigsad]
