gas leak
gas leak
Hey Guys, need some help. the gas fitting on my carb is seeping again. I've tightened it several times and it's seeping again. (gas dripping on the manifold) I'm afraid I'll strip the threads in the carb if I keep tightening it. is there a sealant I can use on this application?
Thread Tape
Can't say as I've used this stuff on a gas line, and I'm not sure of its resistance to gasoline..

If it is a Holley carb you can get a new gasket for the inlet adapter to fuel bowl at any parts store.
If it is leaking between the steel fuel line and the inlet adapter you will most likely need to re-flare the steel line and replace the inlet adapter.
These are cheap and easy repairs, don't mess around.
