Hose Connections – RectorSeal?

[Brian Will]

When connecting the fuel and oil hoses to the cooler and oil hoses to the transmission should I use RectorSeal 5?

Thanks.

Thanks Rob. I’ll be careful not to get any grease on the fuel and oil seating surfaces; threads only.

Nothing on flare seating surfaces.  Anti-seize on turbo exhaust flange bolts.  An option for o-rings is Super Lube Silicone O-Ring Grease.

Grease Summary

Rob,

Thanks for the response. I looked through the forums and think this is the summary for grease on our engines:

1. Alco Metalube: Aftercooler assembly and for fastening different metals
2. Marine grade lithium based wheel bearing grease: O-rings and bolts that run below 200F
3. RectorSeal Tru-Blu: Threaded pipe connections such as fuel and lubrication tubing. 
4. Hose connections: RectorSeal 5.
5. Metal surfaces and gaskets: RectorSeal 5
6. Turbo charger to manifold gasket: High temp silicone

Did I miss anything?

Not sure where exactly you are looking to use the RS5 but it is usually good to use on any connections running at or under coolant temperature..
