In replacing a carb on my 240 a couple weeks back I bound the brass male fuel-line coupling with regular plumber's teflon tape before screwing it into the brass receiver on the carb. The other day I had reason to back it out to check flow and I saw that the teflon had basically dissolved from gas. Surprised me because I thought teflon was kind of bulletproof. Should I have used a different material or going brass into brass was I wasting my time anyway? I didn't wrap when I reinstalled coz I was worried about particles of teflon plugging up the jets, etc. Thanx.
