[QUOTE="oexing, post: 179136, member: 1493"] Sorry, just noticed there is a lock nut with that tap. But then, the flat seals do not prevent seeping fuel along the thread down for wetting the engine case. You´d better apply some threadlock onto the thread as well or a few windings of teflon tape may seal the lot. Most traditional taps just got the hexagon plus flat face to sit on the flat of the tank. So then these Dowty seals will do, except the orientation is next matter. No question for me , just have some Loctite on threads, worked each time safely. Vic [/QUOTE]
