Autobar Thread Seal Tape - 601

Yes, P.T.F.E. tape is generally resistant to automotive fuels, but ensure it is applied cleanly so no loose fragments enter the fuel system.

While it does not have a strict expiration, it is best to keep it away from extreme heat and moisture to ensure it remains pliable.

The Autobar 601 is designed for automotive and general repair; if you require NSF-certified tape for drinking water, check your local plumbing regulations.

Generally, 3 to 4 wraps are sufficient for most fittings. Adjust based on the clearance of the threads and the pressure of the system.

No, once a fitting is tightened, the tape is compressed and deformed. Always use a fresh application of tape for a reliable seal.

Ensure the tape was wrapped in the clockwise direction; if applied incorrectly, it may bunch up during tightening.

You may have used too many layers of tape; remove the tape and try applying 2 to 3 layers instead.

Ensure the threads do not have sharp burrs or metal shards; file down any rough spots before applying the tape.
