Fuel Shut Off Valve - Re grease

Our Condor's 'Imperial' fuel shut off valve needs a re grease. I can see lots of references to fuel lube, stern grease and EZ Turn, on American / Aeronca websites, but nothing for the UK. Can anyone recommend a product I can quickly pickup in the UK.

Have a look at the LAS aerospace website, they sell "fuel grease" in small quantitys so you wont have to buy a 5 Lb tin that you wont ever use.

Be careful what you "grease." Fuel Lube ("EZ Turn") is to be used in extremely sparing quantities, and shouldn't be put where it can be admitted to the fuel stream. It's insoluble in fuel or solvent, and can pass into the fuel stream. Once in the fuel stream, it can easily plug or block injectors, jets, or valves.

Use care anytime you use Fuel Lube.
