To Teflon or not to Teflon, that is the question ...

[SeaMasterZ@aol.com]

I have a pair of those Wal Mart tanks, the attwood jobbers (and found a big plastic tank I had gotten years and years ago, pics when I get a chance to drag it out) and my question is this ... it has plastic fitting, and I got a brass fitting to hook the fuel line into her ... now usually, I use teflon tape, but I wonder if that fitting is self sealing since its going into plastic? I know, stupid question but I dont want to take ANY chances on doin something stupid, lol

Me again Ray.....<br /><br />It don't never hurt to use a wrap of tape especially on a used tank. Problem with Teflon, after a while the stuff gets sticky from the gas. I usually use a gasket sealing compound the is impervious to gas.....big word there. Anyway, put something on the threads before hooking into tank.<br /><br />Me
