An fittings

Are you supposed to use any sealant on them at all or are they like hydraulic fittings and seal themselves?

Re: An fittings

A couple of drops of oil on the threads will keep them from gaulding and easier to tighten if you're using new fittings.

Re: An fittings

Thanks Everyone. I already assembled them all but wasn't sure. I figured I would ask before I turn on the fuel pump and had fuel pouring out everywhere.
