Default Thread Sealer for nitrous

JAWS 021:

In the last thread you mentioned that you use thread sealer too. What type of thread sealer do you use?

Thanks!

I picked some up at Autozone the other day. You should be able to find some automotive sealer at any parts store.

I was told by the tech at ZEX not to use any kind of thread sealer on any connection with Nitrous Oxide. All the fittings are compression type fittings and should not need any type of sealer(s). I don't have any leak on my install of the NO2. The leak that I had was to due to the low pressure of the tank being so cold outside. The teflon seal in the solenoid was not yet seated. NOW, it works like a peach. Nice and sweet. Just blew a Mustang V6, a ZX2, and an Accord per Jaws suggestion. Made my look bada$$ on the street.

i use regular tape thread sealer...

dont use too much and keep it off the edge

Some kits dont require it... but it doesnt hurt to add a bit....

Some kits (most), urge against using tape and only to use thread sealer.
