[QUOTE="weevil.knievel, post: 179152, member: 5713"] Hi, Some great discussion glad it was not just me that struggled with these. From the responses, looks like the Triumph method of using the Stat-o-seal (an evolution of the Dowty...) and a thin flat washer between the locknut and seal as per Triumph method is an accepted method, and the exact parts are listed on the feked site below. I dont think sealant is needed on the threads with this method.. Interestingly the feked site calls them Dowty but they look more like Stat-o-seal type and they cross reference to the Triumph part number mentioned earlier. If I am not mistaken the Stat-o-seal has a more o-ring style rubber which protudes and gives more squish when tightened: Seals (Triumph part number 70-7351): [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.feked.com/dowty-washers-for-fuel-tap-1-4.html[/URL] [IMG]https://www.feked.com/images/thumbnails/399/299/product/73/thumbnail_IMG_1703-600.jpg[/IMG] Flat washer (Triumph part number 83-0002): [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.feked.com/fuel-tap-steel-sealing-washer-1-4-bsp-petrol-taps.html[/URL] [IMG]https://www.feked.com/images/thumbnails/399/299/detailed/179/w0002b.jpg[/IMG] Thanks for everyones help!
