I know this is probably Hydraulics 101, but how are most of you treating the
hydraulic line fitting threads (e.g, Legacy gear hydraulic lines) and fuel
line fittings?  Do you use any sealant or Loctite on the threads?  Do you
treat the "swedge" (tapered fit) fittings (like the ones that screw into the
sequence valves) differently from the "straight" ones?  I've been told that
Loctite makes a special sealant just for hydraulic lines ...  Do you
"torque" the fittings as well, or just hand tight plus a bit?  What about
the fuel lines - treat these threads the same way?

Thanks in advance for any expertise that can be offered!
