Dave, there is no need for any type of thread sealer on the fuel line to the carb. The ends of the line are flared. The seal is made by the flared line sitting against the fitting. If it leaks, it means that the flare is cracked or the fitting is worn. Teflon tape is used with pipe thread, and it does stand up to gas and diesel fuel well, even though it does look dissolved when you take stuff back apart. There are a few places in that fuel system where pipe threads are used, but if you don't have any leaks right now, you should be fine.
