This may seem like a dumb or newbie question - but I here it is...
What are the guidelines concerning what type of substances to use on fittings and nuts, especially firewall forward? When do you use Fuel Lube or anti-seize or nothing at all? What products should be used and where I guess is my main question.
I've been using Fuel Lube on my pipe threads (nothing on flared fittings). But in some pictures I've seen a white substance used and I'm not sure what it is. Fuel Lube is like a thick, gooey, creamy substance.
Do you use anti-seize on all other 'normal' nuts in the engine compartment?
When do you use steel AN fittings vs. aluminum?
Sorry if it seems like lots of questions but I just want to ensure all my connections are up to snuff in the hot compartment.
I appreciate your help.
