teflon tape and fuel lines??

I am installing a fuel pressure guage. Question, when I tie into the fuel line with a T should I use teflon tape to insure a fuel tight connection. The fittings are brass.

Thanks

Are the connections threaded or compression. If threaded you can use Teflon if compression use no sealant

Do not use teflon tape! if you must... use a teflon based paste but not tape. you dont have to cut your fuel line and tee it. you can buy an adapter that fits all honda's and it screws into the top of your fuel filter and mates great with the banjo bolt,install is a piece of cake.get some new crush washers and bam no fuss no mess,no LEAKS. do it the right way. you can buy it at any speed shop or summit online,its made by B&M and comes with a gauge.cost is around 20 bucks.good luck!

Teflon Tape or not?

Actually, I was finally able to determine that my connectors for the fuel to the injector rails uses AN -6 connectors. By contacting Comptech they told me that an inline connector with a provision for the fuel pressure sending unit is avail. The part is a XRP- T fitting. I was able to order one from
http://www.hawaiiracing.com/. Because of the high fuel pressure (~90+lbs) I needed to make sure that I had the correct connectors to place inline. Thanks for everyone's input
