i have an AEM fuel rail I just stuck on my car and the bolt on the end tward the driver side has a very almost unnoticable leak... we are talking very tiny... but with any type of leak I don't want it....

i was told not to use teflon tape... and there is liquid stuff but i looked at autozone but dont know the name of it.. and the person I know locally that knows what it is isn't available...

fuel fitting thread type stuff??

 

teflon pipe thread sealer

 

Jake, I got your message.

Fuel rail install was easy, huh? I just used teflon tape to seal mine. I think as long as you wrap it counterclockwise so that it doesn't shred when you tighten it down, it will be okay. Put about 4-5 layers of tape on that bolt and I guarantee you won't be leaking anymore. Just make sure none of it is going to shred off to plug your injectors.

 

I like "liquid teflon" better than the teflon tape.

 

well yeah...liquid teflon is better, but for now the tape will work until you can find some of that stuff. I don't really know where to find it.

 

Napa baby!

 

I got mine from home depot, in the plumbing section

 

I meant the liquid sealant, tape can be had from the Depot for sure though!

 

me too

Liquid teflon can be found at home depot.

 

I used several wraps of teflon tape on the threads.. I think the fuel rail threads are long enough to cover the entire bolt/threads and teflon so none is sticking out. It seems to be not leaking... and i hope the above is true.. i dont want any chances of clogging up an injector and worse...

 

My AEM was the sam way. However, I noticed that t stil leaked with the liquid teflon. I ended up using a little bit of HondaBond.

 

hehe, they say in the fuel rail instructions "Use liquid teflon to seal, DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE".....but mine seems to be hanging in there.
