So I've decided to do what I've seen a couple of people have done and tap in a -8 AN union fitting, what I'm curious about is watching good old benny's cresta vid he seems to have either a gasket or thread sealer where the fitting goes into the sump. Just wondering if any here have done it or had it done and what if anything was used to prevent a possible leak from between the sump and fitting?
