Hi.
Can anyone help.
I am about to replace the bushes and taps back into my tank. Both were leaking when bought so want to get it right .
1/ Should I use copper or fiber washers or both.
2/ Use Locktite on threads, or PTFE tape.
3/ I have copper and fiber, but the closest for size is a little to large or small. Would it be best to use the smaller and file out.

I suggest Dowty viton washers and PTFE tape on the tank to tap joint/thread. Thats what I have used for a long time with no leaks.
Leaks from the tap is a different problem.
Thanks.
Just ordered them. I thought that PTFE may dissolve with petrol.

White PTFE tape goes transparent when petrol touches it, but it works fine.
