Teflon tape is considered bad news for anything oil or fuel related; it=20
can shed pieces that will clog small passages. Teflon paste type sealant=20
is fine for oil. Fuel Lube (brand name) should work for NPT fuel=20
fittings; there's another product that's much easier to find (any good=20
plumbing supply) but I've forgotten the name. I'll find my can next trip=20
to the hangar.
