Subject was Threadlocker...

A couple years ago I needed a gas tank for a 1988 Jaguar XJ6 or XJ40
depending on which side of the pond you are on. I found one in a "you pick
it" scrap yard but they are required by law to poke holes in them and not
allowed to resell a gas tank. I was able to buy the tank by purchasing the
"fuel filler neck and gas cap". The receipt did not say the tank was
attached. It was murder getting the tank out of that car, and torture
putting the tank back into my car. But I got it.

As to thread locker- none of them are permanent so keep the red and buy
another tube of the blue.
