Thanks for the tip, John,
However, my experience is that fuel lube
will eventually wash away – not immediately, but eventually. But,
perhaps the stuff I used was not the same as you used.

Subject: [FlyRotary] fuel valves
for builders and those who can readily access their fuel
valves, a thought would be to prelube the fuel valves with fuel lube which is
required by AD on Piper aircraft. ACS has EZ turn lubricant, which is
advertised as an equivalent to fuel lube. These lubes are not washed away
by gasoline or alcohol, as I was unaware that Michigan had done away with labeling on the
gas pumps, I burned gasohol for years and the Piper fuel valve never
leaked. JohnD
