Rocol Fuelseal pipe jointing compound - for leaky flanges

[damian_days]

Anyone ever try using Rocol Fuelseal? Bought a bottle for £18 from plumbing and gas merchants today - going to use it to seal a fuel tap flange that had a minor leak. I looked at Hylomar Blue, which is fuel resistant, but not fuel proof. In fact the technical specs on Hylomar Blue do warn against its use if in permanent contact with petrol. Whereas Rocol Fuelseal states it is designed for this purpose.

And you don't want a leaky flange, if it says its for that purpose it should be ok, most on here if the fuel tap is leaking slightly would get a new seal kit and/or new tap and replace the whole unit to cure it as bodging may lead to problems further down the line

Why not fix it properly and look at why it is leaking if its faulty repair kit or replace the tap. Trust me the last thing you need is leaking fuel on a hot engine.

Leaking petrol on a hot engine will give you a whole new insight to the phrase "my ass is on fire".

I would steer clear of any quick fixes that come in a tube or bottle and address the actual problem .

Rocol make good products, it's more expensive for reason. If there's an underlying issue then then it still may not work.

Isn’t a leaky flange now known as a WAP ?
