Unfortunately, the fittings were weeping fuel from the regulator.  I had tried teflon tape on them, but it wasn&#8217;t sealing well enough.  After a few retries with the tape, I decided to use Gasoila, a thread sealer that is specifically made for use on pipe threads for gasoline and propane.  This has to cure though, so it&#8217;s sitting on the workbench now.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bracketracer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7002.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bracketracer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7002.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bracketracer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7002-450x600.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bracketracer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7001.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bracketracer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7001.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bracketracer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7001-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.bracketracer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_7001-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My parts order arrived, so I was able to install the fuel regulator.
