Problem

Oh decisions decisions, should it be PTFE tape or loctite?

Tell him to de gas his tank, remove the gauge, check threads to ensure no damage, try either PTFE tape or Locite to try and seal the fitting, if no joy then it may be the gauge itself so it will cost him £20 or so for a new one

BTW do not rule out preset regs from PMI they do a similar job and may be cheaper (£62 at LPS) but I'm not sure how much the Mellee go for?

PTFE vs Loctite

I always thought PTFE was a no no on regs but one I bought from LPS recently (brand new) came with PTFE on the fittings? I think :confused: I'll check when I get home!
