L19MUD Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 This is actually not LR related but on a dumper with a lister TS3 engine. Diesel fuel. Equally I have a fuel pipe to the lift pump of my 90 which is also leaking so could be the same thing. I have a leak on an injector pipe which I suspect is due to the flange on the end being slightly distorted (has been off many times over the years due to people running the thing out of diesel!) I can buy a new pipe, but at £30 I would rather try something cheap and dirty first. A little seepage is no real problem on a dumper. Would a small smear of hylomar blue be the answer to this?

miketomcat Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Locktite 577 (cures and locks in place) is fine with diesel but designed for threaded fittings as is jet blue (just a sealant). Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Build it up with high metal content two part epoxy? Observe uber clean work practices, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Thank you. Will look into those options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally V8 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 A leak or £30 is your two options, any kind of sealant on a high pressure pipe is asking for more problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
