SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR ALL GASOLINE ENGINES
WARNING
Avoid gasoline fire or explosion. Improper installation of brass fittings or plugs into
fuel pump or fuel filter base can crack casting and/or cause a fuel leak.
IMPORTANT: The following information is provided to ensure proper installation of
brass fittings or plugs installed into fuel pump or fuel filter base:
• Use #592 Loctite Pipe Sealant with Teflon on threads of brass fittings or plugs. DO
NOT USE TEFLON TAPE.
• Brass fittings or plugs should first be threaded into fuel pump or fuel filter base
until finger tight.
• Fittings or plugs should then be tightened an additional 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 turns using
a wrench. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
• To prevent overtightening when installing a fuel line, the brass fittings should be
held with a suitable wrench as fuel line connectors are tightened securely.
