Is this compatible with plastic fittings? I have a diesel storage tank with 3/4" threads that leak a little and I am looking for a sealant.

I doubt if it would harm the fittings material, for my purposes, it has always "just worked." Probably the smart move would be to test the sealant on a spare fitting first.

I primarily use this on Triumph motorcycle cases and it is the best Permatex (or any) product for the job. I've also used it on rubber pipes to metal banjos and it worked well there too. I suspect that it would work well in your situation but I have not used it on plastic and there are so many kinds of plastic that I would test it first. Personally, on threads where gas or oil is involved, I use the yellow Teflon tape -- it seals gasoline so diesel should be no problem.

I used it on a outboard motor water pump housing made of some type of hardened plastic so for your question I would say yes but the difference between plastics these days does leave some doubt. Maybe do a test with it to be sure. This formula I am told come from 3m and to my knowledge is a formula that has never been surpassed and my use of it on plastic outboard parts has never failed me

Yes, it will work in your application. Understand that stop leak is a temporary solution to minor leaks. This is not a mechanic in a bottle.

Yes. Test all fittings with a water / soap spray to make sure there are no leaks...

the connectors in the kit won't do it. You would need the 3/8" male quick connect fitting. But I'm not sure I'd trust just any old connector. Normally they are made for compressed air, and you would have to find ones made for LP gas use. Be careful, with that many connections, you'd be asking for leaks. If you do it, put a shut off at the source so you can shut the whole hose down.

Fittings are also available for 1/2" and 3/4" tubing. I'm using 3/4" vinyl tubing with mine.

The 3/8" in the description is defining the maximum I.D. For your peace of mind I measured its I.D. as Min of 5/16" Max of 3/8". If you are using a standard small boat 6 gallon gas tank (Original tank was from 1974 which I replaced with a new all plastic tank and this line fit on both) it seems to be an exact replacement for Mercury and Johnson fittings sliding on tightly, but I would still use a screw clamp on either end. You will need to re-use your existing fittings and clamps or buy new ones to match your motor and tank fittings.

Yes. Threads fit my previous tank hose. Use or order gage for this manifold.

It's just a simple compression fitting and should work without any issue on the replacement. I'd use the same hoes and the new fittings. You should be fine. If you drilled new holes I expect keeping the old holes from leaking would be an issue sooner or later.

I used these for striped valve cover threads on an aluminum head. I do not have any leaks to date.

Its a standard 3/4inch pipe thread. Which would fit an existing install.The pipe is square, chrome, and machine. The threads were not put on by a pipe threader. So I would recommend some sealer on the threads. Just in case.Better to not risk a leak.

No, the holding tank should be able to hold a fixed pressure +/- a few PSI for hours. Make sure you are using a thread locker to seal your connections.

Yes. I use a piece of 3/8 fuel line to drain my oil. Some folks use a clear plastic hose instead, but any 3/8 hose will work. Love mine!!

Hello Douglas, This is a great kit but I don't think it will be what you want for type "an" fittings!

If your line has the same connector as a propane tank. But would recommend a different design since this has a box below it specifically to fit a tank. Not sure if it would fit to your line or not- sorry

You will have to reduce down from 3/4 to 1/2 in but it should work fine. I used Sharkbite fittings to do the job.

The RDS Diesel Install Kit will have 3 barbed fittings included. An aluminum adapter going into the fill line will accept a 1-1/2 hose. The adapter going to the manual shutoff drain line, and one going to the float valve both accept a 5/16" hose. All adapters and hoses are included with the kit.

I don't know. I would get more info first. I used it and it worked. I think it softens and swells seals to stop the leak. If that is the case and your seals are just dried out it should work. Good Luck. Kent
