Kitfoxers, I don't remember who recommended the ACS $93 for a 3 oz of 370 fitting sealant, but my damn header tank fittings are still leaking. I ordered and received a tube today. By the way the price has gone to$99 + shipping for the 3 oz tube. That stuff had better work!

Sorry for giving you that leaky tank Pat. I had the same issue with my original header tank which caused me to purchase the one I eventually gave you. Fixed the original with some fuel resistant sealer-goop I bought at the local auto parts store for much less than $99. No leaks since. There's as much luck as there is science to stopping leaky fluids methinks. Just ask BP.

Marco, Good to hear from you. I didn't swear at you even once. The price on that tank was unbeatable. Thinking about it I could have just used my original aluminum tank and moved it down behind the seat with a little bracket work. I'll let you know how the $100 for 3 oz stuff works. I put it on this morning and if the way it sticks to your fingers is the way it sticks to the fittings, it will work.
Will you be at Oshkosh this year?
A guy I woked with's son sent him some pictures of that rig on fire in the gulf, that you refer to. BP leasted that rig for $500K a day from the mfgr. It cost another 1/2 a million a day to man and operate it. I figured at $80 a barrel it took 12500 barrels a day to reach break even. Can you imagine how some people in this country viilify "Big Oil"s profit of $.04 a gallon with what it takes to find and produce oil provideing us with energy, jobs and a future. And, big government collects $.51 a gallon for doing nothing.
