Malcolm that's what did^^^ no leaks you should be good.. So it started out with stock size barb then next batch went to smaller size, now new batch is back to stock? LoL
You want clear water proof silicone
If you're concerned about seeing the RTV some time with a sharp razor blade will take care of it.You want clear water proof silicone
I've never used that stuff. I went with the grey since it sealed my diff pretty well. I did use it along with the bolt.Oh man. OK thanks for the heads up. I wonder if the Mega Black silicon would do the trick. That stuff is almost like epoxy. I have to hammer and half break things to get them apart after using it.
Mine leaks also. But from around the threads. I put some black silicone on it and it's holding for now.
Mine leaked around the threads real bad too. Sprayed all over my motor and windshield etc. I found putting on two o-rings cured it. Put one just above the threads in the somewhat expected spot that slides down in the hole of the tank and then put a second slightly larger o-ring all the way over the top so that it compresses between the lid and the top of the tank. That seems to have cured it for me. Now it's just the glass leaking.
MalcolmV8, where did you get the o-ring? I have a leak problem as well and used some Teflon paste on it the last time to seal, but would like to use something different after my blower swap. That paste makes a mess and an o-ring would be a lot better.
Hey Steve, you still around? I sent a PM over the weekend but not sure if you got it. My lid is leaking coolant out of the glass. You can see it bubbling and seeping out one of the quadrants. Car only has around 600 ~ 800 miles on tank and leak started. Could I get a replacement lid? If you want the old one back I can ship it to you too.
Thanks
Malcolm
damn, mine started leaking the same way... what did you end up re-sealing it with? Thanks
