help with fuel fittings

[oneturboforme]

Trying to install the irate fuel system ended up having to pull the turbo and drivers side up pipe to get a fitting in.... question is do you guys use sealant on these? Factory ones didn't have any on them. And pirates instructions say nothing about applying sealant. Thanks

You can and should use at least some antisieze. I prefer permatex #2. It is a diesel rated pliable sealant that will not harden.

I used a diesel rated thread sealant, can't for sure remember which, but permatex sounds right. Came in a tube a napa.

I got a bottle of it I'll use it better safe than sorry thanks guys

the pipe thread uses sealant, the an/jic fitting needs nothing but i like to antisieze everything that i may need to take apart ever again

I use yellow Teflon tape on the pipe thread fittings.

Don't use white Teflon tape. The only thing it is supposed to be used on is water. Yellow works well.

i used permatex and alot of antiseze for the next time it comes apart. so far no leaks, but man this kit was such a pain in the ass to install. anyone looking to do this i suggest you have a good chunk of time to complete it and remember the turbo and up pipes have to come off even tho the instructions say nothing of the sorts. im seriously thinking of getting a spare motor so when i do my build i can build the spare then swap it out think it would be a little better then working on the ladder reaching over the motor working on everything
