Just found "TFE Pipe Thread Sealant w/Teflon" that claims to
be good for all threads, fuels, wide range of temperatures.

Anybody tried that?

Either Fuelube or EZ turn

Teflon tape and RTV are very bad in a fuel syste. Teflon tape, if it
is wrapped beyond the threads, can tear off and clog the system. RTV
swells and becomes very soft when exposed to fuel or oil.
