Sediment bowl installation
I have my tube of E-Z lubricant on order.
Should it be applied on the sediment bowl threads and how much? Many thanks in advance

Re: Sediment bowl installation
I believe it only goes on the valve and valve housing. Use sparingly.

Re: Sediment bowl installation
It's called E-Z Turn for a reason: it's for valves that turn
for installing the sediment bowl to the tank, you really want to use Permatex 2A
It's been around for probably as long as "T"s have been and is thoroughly fuel-proof. An added bonus is that when you're within a 1/2 turn or so of being socked down tight, you can leave it a tad (SLIGHTLY) less-than-tight for best positioning on the tank and it will seal up just fine and stay put.
You will find that the tube of E Z Turn you've bought is a 500 year supply for you, all your club friends, and 1/2 of the neighborhood to use and return still mostly full, so don't be discouraged if you don't use it on your sediment bowl.

Re: Sediment bowl installation
I found a new product called Gasoila that I posted about recently. Seems to work fine on the threads.

Re: Sediment bowl installation
This E Z Turn is for fuel valves? Where do you get it? I checked eBay & Amazon and just got listings for "personal lubricant."

Re: Sediment bowl installation
Thanks Scott, Aircraft Spruce has been one of my regular suppliers for years. I have a fuel valve and sediment bulb that have gotten so hard to turn that even pliers are having a tough time getting the job done.
