I checked the Canard Pusher Newsletters - I'm assuming you have an older
tapered brass valve.  Parker Fuel Lube was originally called out as suitable
grease for this valve.  Later Braycote 601 fuel valve grease was found to be
better, but it's extremely expensive - over $100.00 per ounce!  Both are (or
were) available through either Spruce or Wicks.

If you have one of the new Cherokee type valves (part # 6S122) that RAF (and
Cozy???|)  recommended as a better valve, Dow DC-4 synthetic silicone grease
is recommended for the o-rings.

Hope the above isn't redundant.  I don't know what's given in the Cozy
newsletters since I don't receive them.
