Anyone have any recommendations on silicone to seal the fuel tank? I'm about to start the build.

You shouldn't need silicone to seal the tank.

Ok, thanks. I was curious as the manual suggests it may need to be sealed.

I have seen some tanks need it and others not. I can honestly say I have never needed anything on the last 6 N7's I have had. In the event I do end up needing some, I will use PRC 890 B1/2 aircraft grade sealant. Just be mindful on when you install it. Good luck and we are here if you have questions..

Merry Christmas,

I used a smaller O ring instead.
