Some-Guy Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Anyone know a good product that will seal 2 pieces of aluminum and hold pressure in I got a bran new fuel pump that had a defective seal so I dismantled it with a die grinder as the top was crimped together. I got a new o-ring But I want to seal the 2 halves tight without it spilting apart again..basically a permant solution short of welding as I dont have a tig and iam not about to pay a shop to do it around here (costs a damn arm and leg) I might try some JB Weld just not sure if it will hold tight enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 is JB weld Gasoline proof? I don't know. is it for a rear mounted electric fuel pump or a mechanical pump? you want to be careful because if it leaks then you have gasoline right near hot brake parts...

Some-Guy Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 its for the rear one it yea for sure I deffinatly dont want leaking at all... i already had that problem.. JB Weld failed the first time around but iam thinkin with a new O RING it might work since basically it was totaly pinched off from the factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 http://dot.etec.wwu.edu/fsae/viking35adhesives.htm They had a write up on it as well, but right now all I can only find the photo gallery. on second thought, I don't know if stuff like that will work in a fuel environment. Its more for stress loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some-Guy Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 i dont think fuel will ever touch it or it shouldnt if the o-ring holds but incase it fails again I want some kind of backup to hold it all in and hold the pieces together Ill have to take some pics we ended up filling the entire top end with JB weld I had to grind it all out the thing looks like hell but the top piece is actualy really thick! so there is lots of meat left to work with Iam conisdering gettin it welded throuh work since I cant seam to find anything to do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
