Jim,
The yellow tape is for a gasoline environment. Good question on the
red/solvent tape. That was confusing when I saw it. To me, solvent includes
gasoline. But the Yellow tape is specifically for gasoline so I guess....
Thats the one to use

When you say with "gas" do you mean gasoline? Those of us whose homes are
powered by natural gas know that plumbers deal with the gas plumbing. So
one natural interpretation of the wording is that a different tape is used
to seal gaseous substances run at 2.5psi (or
whatever) compared to water run at 15psi. Also, wouldn't a solvent
environment likely include gasoline as compared to a tape intended for water
pipes?
I checked your website to see if this was answered somewhere. The tab
labeled TBI Upgrade showed a TR seat with a computer and other electronic
goodies. The link further down labeled TBI Upgrade went to someone else's
website. Inotherwords I saw nothing about tape.
