    When using hard tubing where you have to join two pieces togeather. What kind of thread sealer do you use? Is teflon tape OK, or do you need to use something else? Thanks Mike.

    No sealer on flare fittings. Compression fittings would be ok for fuel line (with ferrules) but again no sealer.

    No sealer, NO USE OF FERRULE COMPRESSION FITTING ON FUEL LINE.

    Why? Doesn't seal? It's only a few psi of negative pressure unless it's EFI.

    I'd agree with no ferrules on brake lines, but that's a whole other universe in terms of pressure.
