Rob, I'm a little confused. So you do NOT put the grease on the threads of the flare nut?
When then do you apply the grease, on the tapered portion of the nut? If yes, does this simply help create a barrier/seal when the flare nut is compressed onto the end of the metal hose? If placing the grease on the tapered portion, do I not need to concern myself with getting grease inside the fuel system and fouling the injectors?
Thanks.
