fuel lube?
It was recommended to use "fuel lube" on the threads of the fuel tank-drain.
I went to Canadian-Tire (a Canadian automotive store) and asked about this, but they hadn't heard of "fuel lube". I searched the shelf of lubricants but found nothing that was advertised as being for fuel system components.
What is a suitable lubricant for this? Also perhaps for lubricating the rubber seal on the fuel-cap ?

Second Dan's recommendation.
The tube is enough to do a bunch so you don't need the can.

Is that stuff the same as an extreme-temperature graphite lubricant?

Don't believe so. It's a clearish/translucent goop.

Parker O-ring lube is not the answer. It must dissolve when fuel touches it. Mine are dry again after a couple of days after using Parker O-ring lube. I'll switch to EZ turn.

I use Lubriplate. Clean and re-lube at annual.
Haven't changed the "O" rings since the "new" caps came out sometime in the 1990's.

How about Permatex?
I have the same question in regard to the fuel line fittings that are to be installed on my fuel pump. The Manual says to use "Fuel Lube" on the fittings.
As an alternative to no-longer-available "Fuel Lube", can I use high-temperature Permatex? That's what I've been using as a sealant on the other lines. Is this acceptable?

It is available - fuel Lube is now EZ Turn ( http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...?clickkey=9406). Same thing.
