Thanks John,
I called Loctite (1-800-Loctite) and asked them about RPK1. It's not in
their listings. Perhaps it's only available down-under. They suggested
that I might try their 'Ultra-Gray' product as a sealant with the
gasket. I'll give it a try. But I must admit that I'm getting very good
at siphoning out the tank.
Safety Fast,
Bud Krueger
