Thermal Grease for fuel pump? any suggestions?

2002 350 Mag MPI serial #0M326575

I'm about to replace my fuel pump and fuel cooler. Problem is the Mercruiser manual calls for "thermal grease" and suggests to obtain locally and I have not been able to find any source. Dielectric grease does not appear suitable for this application.

Any thoughts, Thanks

Any electronics shop sells 'thermal grease'. It'll be known as 'heat-sink compound'....

Something like this... Heatsink Compound - 10 gram tube - Jaycar Electronics

So how stupid do I feel now

I was trying to get every thing in order before starting install and just opened the parts bag and sure enough there is thermal compound included in the kit (covered by a warning sticker) - 1 hour of my life I can never get back. At least I was trying to do it right the first time.

Been there, done that... :facepalm:

BTW, no crime in doing things right the first time...
