Thanks for all
the help. I ordered my Walbro pumps for $119 each. I ordered the
fittings Rusty suggested below. Everything has showed up and guess what,
I've got more questions. :) First, on the pumps, it looks like the
fittings seal by crushing an aluminum washer. Would it be ok to put fuel
lube on the fitting also?
I don't think fuel lube will
hurt, but I also don't expect it will help either. The seal is made
by the crush washer, and not the threads.
Anybody know what torque value to use or
is good and tight sufficient?
Tight enough to not
leak has been fine for mine :-) You might check the instructions
that came with the pumps if you haven't already. I can't recall if there
was any mention of torque
values.
Second, on the filter (GF481), what
seals the fitting to the filter? That tiny O ring? The fitting
bottoms out in the filter by hand tightening. It doesn't seem right.
What am I missing? Thanks in advance.
That "tiny O ring" is keeping millions of
cars from bursting into flames :-) Good place for fuel lube
though.
