I've got a 1000 litre diesel storage tank in a barn which is connected to a system of hoses. The hoses are connected to the tank via some 1/2" BSP connectors a bit like these
I know the correct answer is "drain the hoses, and reassemble the connectors with a better thread sealant", but disassembling it would be inconvenient, so I'm looking for a bodge.
I've tried wiping all the visible diesel from the exposed threads and smearing them with blue Hylomar, but that started leaking before the Hylomar fully cured.
I guess what I'm looking for is some kind of fast-setting silicone sealant that is tolerant of small amounts of diesel while setting. Ideally I'd like something that won't set completely hard, because I might want to dissamble in future. Perhaps some kind of 2-part sealant, or one that has to be heated before it is applied?
Any suggestions?
