This blue stuff needs to go.... used the same stuff on my brake fittings and now those are leaking.
I think Im going to redo every fitting on the plane with the re branded 9AR stuff "Permatex 9AR was re-branded Permatex Tack & Seal Gasket Sealant Item # 80938"
So any ideas on good ways to clean the blue stuff off. It leaves quite the mess?
MEK. My brake line fittings wouldn't seal with the blue stuff either. Fuel Lube that I bought at AS&S worked.

EZ Turn is the sealant I have been using.
"A specialty lubricant/sealant used for fuel and oil line valves & is resistant to high temps. Especially effective where high octane fuels and aromatics are present. EZ Turn is also extremely efficient as a gasket paste & anti-seize agent. EZ Turn will not gum, crack or dry out. Each shipment is independently tested. Excellent for tapered plug valves, aircraft engine manufacturing, and marine applications."

Passed all the leak down tests. I did tighten my fittings down very well. I used the same procedure as Jiott and others. I will do the test again before covering and consider the Banjo fittings. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, that's the stuff I thought was called Fuel Lube. That is what pops up when you put Fuel Lube in the search box on AS&S site. It works great for sticking washers to the nut when you cant keep the washer in place long enough to get a nut on the bolt. You know, those really tight spots.
