THIS.

Exactly why I ended up getting an external t-stat from DC Auto. Went to replace the original/leaking lines from the engine/tank, used pb-blast and heat...threads still came off the t-stat housing.

I tightened it up, but in time the leaking started as a drip...then, when hot, became a flow...
