I agree with Kees; over here it is called plumber=E2=80=99s grease and I =
have used it for years on both the brass taps on British cars and the =
fuel taps on my old bikes, which are or identical design. As Kees says, =
it works a treat. It is available at most hardware outlets that sell =
plumbing fittings.

One should use what is in Europe known as "Hahn Fett" which literally =
translates from German to "Tap Grease". It is a graphite or perhaps =
molybdenum based grease which is used to lubricate all kinds of taps.
I have used it for years for domestic, industrial, automotive taps.
