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.
