fuel fitting sealant

I got a product from ACS that is called EZ Turn. They said it is the
replacement for Fuel Lube if any of you are familiar with that product. I
got it for use on all the pipe thread connections out of the tanks, but I am
wondering if I should use it on flare fittings as well?
Thanks
Jesse

On a flair fitting you want metal to metal contact in order to get a good
seal. A light smear on the threads of the fitting will help prevent
corrosion and let you take it apart some day if required. I use a locktite
product thats fuel proof just because that's what I have in my toolbox
after working for a gas fitter.
