When using it on the frame of my truck, will it damage any rubber or plastic, (fuel tank or rubber hoses)?

I have been using that stuff for years on my old trucks and vans, I have never noticed degradation of rubber hoses.

This product has no effect on rubber but it does turn white when it dries. avoid getting it on other parts to avoid cleaning off the residue. Btw this is a very good product I use it all of the time. John.

I wrapped all plastic/rubber areas with a plastic cover just in case. However I didn't see any damage to the plastic itself. Just make sure water don't touch the treated area.

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is yes. In my application, the tank had an indentation that fit over something on the frame. My tank was fitting a Dr Mower. Hope this helps.

Yes the valve is plastic but considering you're attaching it to rubber fuel lines melting should not be an issue. This is the type of valve that comes standard as a fuel shut off on many small engines including lawnmower and snowblower engines.

I used this on a steel boat tank. My tank needed a repaint so I did not need to be careful. It did not seem to peel paint that it got on. I would not want to get it on good paint though, as it is very tenacious and not easily removed. I do not know how it would effect a plastic or fiberglass tank. It can be painted once dry and seems to be holding up well. Mike

I have used this hose with gasoline-works fine. I don't know about use with diesel.

You should be able to use this gauge on a diesel or gas engine, just as long as you know the fuel pressure does not exceed the 15psi max pressure of the gauge. It can damage and or cause the gauge to leak.

It may depend on what vehicle you are putting this pan on and what you use the vehicle for. If the truck never goes off road I couldn't see it being an issue. I have this pan on my 01 f350 that has 35 inch tires and off road relatively often and haven't had any issues but I am higher off the ground then a stock truck.

I don't see it causing harm but being such high miles you may not see the affects as well. I would probably buy it juat ro try to get the last bit of juice out of the motor. I'm not a mechanic just a truck enthusiast.

It's almost certainly polyethylene or, possibly, polypropylene. Paint isn't going to stick. It's typical of plastic fuel tanks. Best of all? Made in the USA (at least mine is)!

My garage is my man cave. I work on cars and lawn equipment. The only thing that ever effected the epoxy is when brake fluid sat on it overnight. Gasoline,thinners, and oil did not have an effect.

I would not recommend using it on a radiator hose as the pressure and heat will probably cause the seal to break, but I have not used it on a rubber based item. It tends to work better on plastic or hard (metal) materials, making a better seal that tends to hold. It is no magic remedy.

purchased the fuel pump with the understanding it would work with a plastic gastank but when installing it I noticed the arm witch controls the gas gauge rubbed the side of.the tank. Because of urgency I installed it anyway. It works great and truck runs fine but no gas gauge.

It will not leave a residue on rubber, but will on paints. If you are careful when applying to the rubber seals and then gently wipe the paint around the seals afterwards with a towel there will be no residue. I highly recommend this product!

The one I got said it did in the description. I live in California were we have all kinds of stuff in our fuel. The one I got is working fine, the one that came stock on the truck was not made for ethanol and I think that was why it and so many other ranger fuel hoses fail.

The valve is plastic. Mine has worked perfectly, but it is placed in an area where there isn't direct contact with the engine block or exhaust. Your fuel line is rubber would also melt is placed on the engine or exhaust. So, it should be no problem to find a good spot for the valve. Besides it works as well as the tougher metal version and costs much less.

As an aircraft mechanic, I use this product all over the airplane (can't remove the tanks) just a bit of common sense, don't solder if fuel is leaking, and don't solder on the tank, hope this helps.

Yes. You might have to wait for the tanks to build up pressure during a vehicle application.
