OB1 for diesel pipe fittings?

[SlowlyButSurely]

I have a couple of new hosetails that I need to seal into the top of my diesel tank and was about to buy some fancy thread sealant when I came across a thread on here that recommended using CT1 to seal pipe threads. The CT1 website says it's recommended for diesel. My question is, I have a tube of OB1 and was wondering if that will work for diesel pipe fittings as well. Anybody used it?

I guess it will work and you'll never need, nor be able, to undo it.

I use "tru blu" from Toolstation. 3.50 and probably enough for a lifetime.

Tru-blu is what I was going to buy to do the job, when I discovered the ludicrous price of Loctite!

I used a large dollup od OB1 on a bit of wood to stop a small (dripping) leak in the bottom of our fuel tank. I can report that it worked very well, grabbed immediately without cleaning the diesel from the area. It lasted a few months until I removed the tank for replacement.

I plan to test the strength of the joint when I have time. I'm expecting it to be difficult to remove, we'll see.

I wouldn't want to use it in something that I might want to disassemble later.

heldite is what you need

Don’t know about fuel lines but OB1 holds the ridges tiles on my porch down well enough. But it doesn’t rain diesel here. Just lions and wolves

Loctite 577 every time for me.
