[DeTomaso] Threaded plug on bottom of tank size?

[David & Marilyn Bell]

I think that Permaseal non-hardening Form-A-Gasket would be a better solution.  It resists gasoline very well once it's set up.

Does anyone know if its ok to use the red LocTite on the gas tank plug in lieu of the yellow tape. (Long story, don't ask).

Thanks,
