[Healeys] fuel line

[BJ8Healeys]

I always use teflon tape on threaded fittings, including fuel lines.  I've
never had a problem with leaks or anything else from doing this, and it
prevents the threads from seizing from corrosion or galling if it is ever
necessary to unscrew them again.

It just shows that everyone has an opinion.....

I've been told to never use teflon tape on fittings for fuel lines. I
don't know why? Perhaps a bit of loose teflon might cause trouble in the
carbs?
