Good idea John, I have always been told that teflon tape is a big NO NO of fuel or N2O stuff.
Atleast you found the problem tho.

We've always used the teflon paste never thought of using locite that would probably work pretty good.

I bought a nitrous system off a guy and he was all up set because he had burned his motor up and could not figure out why but I think I did when I took it all apart. The fuel pressure regulator dighphram had bust and plugged the fuel solenoid screen up. The regulator rebuild kits for the Holleys are cheap so I rebuilt all mine. Just something to think about along the same lines.

Hey there, It amazes me that a lot of you guyz dont flow the whole system???? but then again we have had a lot of meltdownz and dont trust nothin!!!! and its a time thing too! but I always make a point of doing it every meeting......
I took your advice John on this link,http://texasmeltdowns.com/FOGGER.HTM and checked evry1 of the little suckers, found 1 that was suspect and delt to it! now all is good! cheerz for that!!!! even plug readings. :)
As for the thread tape>>> I never never use that, We have a loctite teflon sealer in Kiwi Land, flexible and its a paste. Easy to apply and clean off, I have found that if your fittings ie: "nozzle into manifold" is getting loose a slight dimple on the fogger thread with a centre punch is more than good, then fresh sealant.
