Re: Best cork carb float coating

[JOSEPH BRINCAT]

I too have used the SIG clear Hot Fuel Proof Dope for years and have not had a problem… HOWEVER, A friend that does quit a few carb rebuilds did an experiment. Left a dope treated cork sit in a jar of our normal 10 % ethanol for a couple of days and the coating did not hold up. Now, normally I don’t have fuel in my carb bowl for that long, so I guess that is why I’m not seeing problems. Further testing proved that the best coating he could find was "Red Kote" fuel tank coating, This is a single component coating that is impervious to the alcohol in our gasoline. Red Kote is available at most auto parts stores.
