Tim, it's because the Teflon tape can shear off small flakes of the Teflon,
and get clogged up in the carb, fuel injection, selector valves, etc.


Theoretically, you're supposed to skip the first thread or two when you
wrap threads with Teflon tape. If you do this, the tape won't ever come
into contact with the fluid (gas, in this case).
