Chrishazle Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Can someone propose a readily available liquid propane RTV in the UK, along with the appropriate material for O-rings that can withstand it? (Viton is capable of sealing, although its performance is suboptimal). The current seals are green in hue, which may assist in identifying the substance. Thank you in advance.

MrGreedy Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Permatex seems to be the term that emerges from a brief Google search, however it looks hard to get in the UK. Cromwell Tools further offers a Dow Corning product, 730 RTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rojoires Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Loctite 5699 may be OK; however, I have not seen the whole data sheet recently, so I apologise if my assessment is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrishazle Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 Thank you, everyone. The panic has subsided; I have located a repair kit that has the appropriate O-rings, and it is expected to arrive by the middle of next week at the latest. Motivated to act upon discovering that the specified curing durations for the proposed sealants need several days to attain full strength. I need it to seal about 8-10 bar without delay! Permatex is often referenced as petrol-resistant; yet, it is hard to get in the UK. Thank you, everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt865 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 To contribute to this subject, GM Engine Sealant is a black RTV used on the camshaft covers of the GM/Opel/Vauxhall V6 Engine, and it is evidently resistant to high-temperature engine oil. Ultimately, all is well that concludes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
