Default Not RTV but

I used a blob of Pro-seal. I don't like working with it, don't like the smell, but it's all I had at the time.

To late now but anyone see a problem with this?

The manual lists either fuel tank sealant or RTV as being acceptable.

Yes, this is the stuff I have used as well. I was not at the shop and could not remember the name of it.

I tend to like the "black" stuff. I see brands like Dow, Mr Gasket, NAPA. I hope this helps.
Hi Charles,

Is this what you are talking about ?

This link is from Permatex.

Permatex Gasket Makers

the four 'Ultra' are the ones you want along with the Red 'High Temp'. All remain 'pliable' (rubbery) except Ultra Gray which eventually becomes rock hard.

The permatex seems to be the most popular here. Anyone know which retail stores have this black one ?
I have collegue who will be in Columbus next week so I can ask him to bring some if I know which stores would have that.

Any big chain auto parts store.

I would also suggest you get at least one tube of gray and one of Copper.

I then have to ask: Columbus? Ohio? Must be business or family.
