Re: Brake Bleeder Thread Sealant?

never use teflon tape on any hydraulic system
even carefully applied teflon can shed teflon threads into the system which then messes with valves
always use dope

ogre was a heavy machine maintenance mechanic in a previous life
it was a firing offence to use teflon tape on any hydraulic system

this is why sensors and fittings now come with pre-applied dope like the red sealant in your pic
on sensors teflon tape can electrically insulate the sensor
