Best thread sealant for use with unleaded petrol

As per the title. My fuel tank has screw in hose tail fittings so I need to put something on the threads to guarantee no leaks.

Any ideas?

Cheers Alex

We have some stuff at work that is fuel proof IIRC it's called Holdite. Can't check for a week though

I've been using Loctite 511 type for more than 30 years, with diesel and racing fuels, and never let me down.

Similar stuff as top race teams use, when they have to.

Cheers,
Nev.

Thanks Nev, I'll get some 511.
