Perhaps I can find it local, but likely not.  We are at the edge of the world here and only UPS and FedEx deliver the real goods.

It is called harvesting, utilization or rotation management.  Call it massacre and I will have to wonder what type of house you live in.  Oh, steel and concrete, that is what we call mining.  Other forms of harvesting, extraction or utilization.   thanks for the tip I will hit the local hydraulics place, they might have it.

Interesting that you say this works well.  I thought it would too so I used it on my WVO system and I found that it melts with the warmed veg oil.  I have had to remove the fittings on just about every part of the system.  The coolant lines into the FPHE's not so much of a problem but I thought the dope was not going to hold up there either. 

Went to Teflon tape and haven't had as bad of a leakage/seepage issue.  Perhaps the cooking oil has other magic melting properties I just don't know about.  But like you say it works on other applications just fine.

You guys are terrible about twisting something someone says.  You know that don't you!  PIPE Dope, not Dope pipe. 

good to know that pipe dope and veg oil dont play nicely..

thats quite weird, because ive used this stuff in contact with engine oil plenty of times, and it stays intact..

hahaha, gotta love the forum being able to twist things, and giggle about it..
