Teflon tape?

Wasnt sure where to post this Q but here goes. I took my FPR off the other day to change the angle of it. When i tried to tape the threads and it came in contact with the gas the tape just fell apart and shrivled up? Is there a special tape for this type of use? Thanks

I always use loctite thread sealer or red RTV. Both are supposed to be fuel resistant. I've never actually looked to see if that's documented, but I've never had a problem.

ideally, Steve you shouldnt need to use anything. those are NPT fittings i think. this means they have a slight taper to them and seal themselves. anywho. put a small dab of solvent resistant RTV on the threads and crank it down and your good to go.

no problem. I remember running into the same issues when I installed my fuel pressure gauge. this stuff will not leak even with lots of fuel pressure.
