I get the concerns.. The $15 was not so uncomfortable to put out on a product that fixed my issue.  This is designed for fuel valves in airplanes.  I am sure it has gone through a butt-load of testing.  The biggest thing I was looking for was something that did not dissolve into my gas and contaminate my injectors.  I was thinking of a variety of more common greases; but most had some version of a petroleum base, or a base that had the possibility of clogging things in the engine.  I was a little nervous to use this stuff, for fear that I clog something, so I used it very sparingly and worked hard to get it into the lock; and then tried to squeeze out any excess.  I am still amazed at how easily this cap turns after only one application.   

I don't sell the stuff, nor get any kickbacks.  Just one Connie owner that found an amazingly good fuel resistant lubricant.

I had googled it before I asked. I found it on skygeek. Started to order it, but shipping cost more than the lubricant did. That is why I asked. I was hoping there might be somewhere to order with more reasonable shipping rates. Guess not.

That site won’t tell you what the shipping charges will be. They just have a statement in the checkout process that says the shipping charges will be assessed and charged at the time of shipping along with a $3 handling fee. I don’t like the idea of not knowing if it is going to cost $5 or $100 for shipping before I place my order.

They want $12 plus won't disclose shipping AT ALL, even after entering all information!!!  EXCEPT that is it $3 plus whatever UPS costs, so I am guessing it is at least $10 more.  I have never seen a site collect payment information and still not tell you what you are going to pay.  I filled it with fake info and it actually accepted the order, and gave me an order number, still not saying what it will cost.

LOL!  I just posted nearly the same thing.
