I don't know if this applies correctly to the
automotive world, but I often use Teflon tape on copper compression fittings,
not because they need it, but that it insures that the fitting won't seize up
later when I want to unscrew it. I suppose never seize would act the same
way. kevin

John,
The GM efi fuel
filters use a Saginaw fitting which requires an
o-ring. I don’t think you want to use thread sealer for these.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Rusty, looking back in my notes I
see you used the GM fuel filter with the 16mm x 1.5p fittings from Earls, pt.
nr. 991955. I have these that I ordered from Jegs, they are power
steering fittings and have an o-ring on them, did you use the o-ring or did
you put sealer on the threads and tighten them down.
JohnD getting to point where I may have only 1
or 2 thousand things to hook
up.
