This is probably right up Earl's alley. I'm re-routing my fuel lines and 
am terminating the hard lines with -6 line and fittings. I have been 
using the Permatex High Temp thread sealer on all my pipe fittings. I 
wonder if I should use anything on the AN fittings? I did before but my 
gut feelings are that those fittings are intended to seal when tightened 
and the sealer may actually interfere. Of course it's obvious to avoid 
getting any on the mating edges as opposed to just the threads. The only 
reason I think something may be in order is that it's Aluminum and those 
mating surfaces can bind. Maybe teflon tape is the proper ting for those 
fittings and sealer for the pipe??? Whatta ya think??/
