Kevin, I have used the teflon liquid more than 30
years, it is widely used in the oil and gas industries and works better than the
tape in effect it doesn't loose little pieces which can clog things
up. It is available at plumbing supply stores. JohnD

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.
