Re: Rusty Fuel Coil Fittings
Added:
Now May, October 2019, April 2020, Sept 2021 (greased May 2012) and those ugly crusty steel fittings are still in service.
One of things that I really like about plain old wheel bearing grease is that it creeps and migrates around on the parts. That is especially true if you occasionally re-apply the grease like I do. It basically halts the rusting.
Some recommend body cavity wax. My understanding is that the body cavity wax will creep similar to the grease that I use.
I use the WD40 with straw to apply for some inaccessible places, but WD40 doesn't have the staying power of some other choices.

As I thought that I already made fairly clear, my suffering ass will chance it for a few more years. But thanks for the concern and advice.I would remove and replace that today .. It's wasted, likely to catastrophic fail: suddenly stranding your suffering ass.

I found some of those products cake up and dry out over time. Does the spray tar that you use stay somewhat fluid to creep, or tend to harden as a coating?... can of spray tar ...
