Spinner Bushing (S-1207) Installation

The RV-12 instructions state that the Spinner Bushing (S-1207) is to be glued to the Spinner with “blue Loctite or equivalent” whereas the RV-12iS instructions state that “fuel tank sealant” is to be used.

Any idea as to why the difference?

Thanks.

Do NOT use blue Loctite. Here is quote from the manufacturer's website:
Anaerobic adhesives remain liquid until isolated from oxygen in the presence of metal ions.
Neither the spinner nor the bushing are made of metal.
 
Thanks for the reply.

Also, I’m glad that I have been looking at what is different between the RV-12 and RV-12iS instructions.
