Guys, I accidentally found out something interesting about Tite Seal. As I
indicated in my previous post, I used it a few days ago on my left tank.
Today I gassed up the left tank and checked my fuel gauge and the (at)#$%
&*'d
thing wasn't working. Checked the wiring, didn't find a problem, then drained
the tank to remove the float/sender. To my surprise, after the last drop of gas
had drained, Tite Seal began oozing out of the drain opening! So, I then removed
the cover plate and using a mirror, saw there was an accumulation of tite seal
in the bottom of the tank.
Naturally, this has me concerned about the merits of tite seal versus proseal. Sure,
Proseal makes it hard to get the cover off, but if you apply too much tite seal as I
obviously did, it's a tad unsettling, since the stuff can run down the inside of the tank
and possibly even get into the fuel line. I think I'm gonna clean this goo out of the
tank as best I can then use proseal and pray for no more SB's.
Some food for thought for those using tite seal.........
