Re: Fitting connections... teflon tape or paste? Paste. Tape can clog a solenoid. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bomb]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" />
Re: Fitting connections... teflon tape or paste? Paste is alright.Defintly do not use tape. But the best way is a medium grade lock tite.Thats what I use.Its alot cleaner.Works like a champ, and no its not hard to pull apart.
