ProSeal & Auto Gas

#1 10-16-2006, 07:23 PM

I'd like to get contact information for the maker of ProSeal. I've got RV4 wings in the jigs and I'm not ready for tank building yet, but I'm considering using it to seal intake manifold junctions on a '37 Harley flathead. Apparently the modern auto gas additives destroy all the traditional "fuelproof" sealants used in the past.

The problem is usualy the alcohol in most auto fuels today. Be sure to use an alcohol rated sealent (and fuel lines.)

I checked with the flamemaster people, who make the product Van's sells, and they said it would not have any problems with auto fuel or alcohol.

Thanks guys, I'll do my manifold when it's tank time for the -4.

Is your flathead a 45, 74, or an 80-incher? Doesn't matter. Dude, you Rock!

Hawkeye7A-

It's a 45. Well now it's a little more than that after a .040 overbore. I don't rock yet, but getting close.
Gotta get to the airport somehow!
