[Fot] Aluminum connectors

[Diesel Performance Parts - Info]

I bet since they are new they are not galling but at the same time I have had
them sort of hang up when tightening them. Drop a drop of the same oil you use
in the engine on the threads and also in the inside of the fittings where they
spin on themselves to seal. Not the 37 degree angle of the fitting where they
seal but back inside where the cap and or nut spins on the fitting. That keeps
them from trying to bind when you tighten them and if you have the correct
fitting mating with the correct matching male/female ends they will not leak.

What brand fittings are these???  Are you sure they are the correct ends to
mate together as there are other degree of angle ends other than the common 37
degree ones we all typically use. If you got some different ones mixed
together they will leak.

The oils seeps through the taper.
When I opened the packet with the connectors there were no o-rings supplied.
Is this an extra order?

Chris,
Some fittings are made to use a rubber o-ring. My sandwich plate AN fittings
will leak without the o-rings, Is it the flared side that leaks or is it the
non-flared side ?

Hi @ all,

hope you are getting well to the next year.

My car has many oil lines and also a lot of aluminum connectors and some of
the them do leak.
Is there any trick to seal them?
I think that I have tighten them enough and hesitate to tighten more not to
destroy them.

Is there a seal missing in those connectors?

Just an example what I mean for the system.

Cheers
Chris
