Even blue thread locker would make future disassembly more difficult than necessary.  If threads truly need sealant as opposed to a locking agent, we'd use fuel-resistant RTV.

"Blue Hylomar" is fuel resistant and doesn't set hard

David,
How do you "take the ethanol out" of your E5 gas?

Removing ethanol is not terribly complicated, but it also lowers the octane rating of the remaining fuel. Seems like a lot of work for very little benefit, and results in rather expensive fuel. (Extra equipment + extra time + octane booster + tossing 5% of the original fuel)

If E0 was really important to me, I’d just go to a station that sells it, pay the shocking price and get on with life.
