Tape is not preferred by many, but as IaGary posted it is ok if put on properly. Don't put it out over the end of the threads where it can get cut off inside the fitting when threaded in. A lot of industrial locations do not allow it due to problems with improper installation and bits contaminating their systems. It is common to use liquid or paste type sealants such as Loctite 545 or 567 at industrial locations I have been in. Loctite 51604 Blue Pro Lock Tight Multipurpose Gel Threadlocker will seal and lock fitting and bolt threads if there are vibration problems, but it isn't cheap. Gasoila, Rectorseal, and Blue Magic are some other brands that have good products. With any sealant or tape you need to be sure the grade is good for oils and fuels. Thread sealants are for pipe threads not JIC, compression sleeves, and O-ring sealed fitting threads. If sealing lines for gases (oxygen, propane, etc.) selection is critical. Just my opinion and experience.
