OK, I've looked through the posts and can't find this anywhere. So help.
I'm installing fuel and oil lines FWF and need to know what torques to use. I have the table for aluminum fittings from Van's FAQ page, but don't know if those apply for fuel and oil lines. I could use the "flats" method, but thought I'd check for numbers first. How do I figure out what size (-6, -8, etc) the lines are?
Second, what does one use for lube on the fuel and oil fittings, if anything? Tite seal, fuel lube, thread lock or nothing? Probably just on threads, not sealing surfaces?
Help would be appreciated. As usual, several qualified responses are expected![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
