Rookie Question: Installing Petcork

When installing a new Raptor on a newly-painted tank, should I "treat" the o-ring with something, or put it on dry and let it do it's thing?
Thanks!

Dry is fine, but if you want to dress the o-ring up with a little grease,
Krytox RFE
will work....it will not dissolve in gasoline.
You almost gotta have a source, though, as the stuff is not cheap. I managed to get a new tube of it on eBay a while back for about $20.

screw the grease. Just make sure the new petcock is tight.

Sorry guys... Just had to mention the SUBJECT misnomer...
PetCORK is right! Would certainly leak less!

The net nanny used to censor petcock, so many of us just typed cork instead
