MG TD TF 1500 - Hylomar verses Permatex #2

Would Hylomar be better used for Viton gaskets on the fuel sender unit than Permatex #2? PJ

PJ, Declan posted this on the other thread below:

"Paul, Hylomar is not fuel proof-only fuel resistant. Permatex seems to be the common choice in USA and Reinzoplast in Europe". Cheers

While #2 is considered gasoline resistant,
Permatex makes a specific gas resistant sealer:

Stick with "Stag" you wont go wrong.

Graeme I used Stag to install the Welch plugs but wasn't sure how it would go with the fuel sender so I used Permatex 2, which looked & smelled a lot like the Loctite aviation gasket cement I used on the engine & gearbox gaskets. If I do get any leaks around the screws I'll give the Stag a go as it's a bit thicker than the Permatex 2. Cheers

Seems like you chaps have a monopoly on Stag, being an Australian product. I think we can plug the leaks with what's available here. Sounds like a superior product though. PJ
