installing a dan marc fuel valve

[justooneez]

Hi, this is probably a dumb question, but I never installed a fuel valve before, and wondering if I should teflon tape the brass nipples before I screw them into the body, or just tighten a bit past finger tight.  didnt know if the gas would eat the tape or not 

thanks again for the good site and info

gas will not eat the tape..but personally i would use the liquid teflon..if a little peice of that teflon tape gets into the fuel line it could end up sticking a float open or if it gets past the neddle valve it could clog a jet up..keep in mind..gas will leak out of cracks that even water can't get threw..i would deffeinatly seal those threads.
