This past summer, I pumped out a great deal of sludge from the bottom of my home oil tank. To access it, I unscrewed the large nut on top of the tank. When I finished, I screwed it back in with a pipe wrench. My local oil guy asked if I used the proper lubricant for the nut. What lubricant did he mean?
