Re: Teflon tape on flare fittings
[ QUOTE ]
Maybe if they made the fuel lines sets in the U.S instead of China,Hong Kong or Mexico they would seal better ? [/ QUOTE ] Without a doubt they would be better. You wouldn't believe what I am going through buying ONLY American made parts for the Nomad Gasser project. The only thing I HAD to buy imported were the ET 10 spoke wheels, and it killed me to do that.

Re: Teflon tape on flare fittings
The inside taper on the tubes seems to be the problem... they are misformed or not fully formed.
The only way I could get them to seat was to take them one at a time and snug it down... then rotate the line 360 deg a few times and it would get looser... snug again... and repeat a few times... then I tightened them up on the car... viola no leaks! (you may be able to use a dbl flare tool and reform the inside tapers)
