Guys which is the more gas/oil resitant epoxy you know of... I need to glue a Alum -AN fitting to a fuel line on my 911 ( this will be the fuel return side so pressure is minimal)
I have -6 as the supply and am going to use the existing fuel supply feed as the return.. less plumbing for me, less expense ... I can get steel a AN fitting, but dont have access to weld all around. Ive been a engineer/welding guy all my life but never thougt abought sweating steel fittings? can you sweat steel to steel? silver solder? Im sure a quality epoxy will do the trick... which one? |

JB Weld has a fuel/solvent safe version.

I was in the 914 on a camping trip in the early 80's. my fuel pump in the 73(mounted in the engine bay)cracked and sprang a leak. An old man handed me two tubes and told me how to use them. That was my introduction to JB weld. I repaired the crack, let it set over night, and drove the car with that same fuel pump for another 10 years. Now I'm the old man, but it's still a great product

QUOTE(TimT @ Sep 16 2004, 02:40 PM) can you sweat steel to steel? silver solder? You can braze steel with an acetylene torch and brazing rod. As far as epoxy goes, I'd use JB Weld two part epoxy (the gray stuff), used it on an oil pan hole from some debris, and never had a drip. Scuff up the areas to be joined with some sand paper to give them some tooth first. Kevin |
