Alright, I sure don't want to hop in this or see it continue on. But in the quote above it sure looks like a contradiction. Ok, so it's a component used in creating a seal. Is the tape a seal? No. Are the treads a seal? No. But Teflon tape used on threads creates a seal. The fact is it doesn't hurt to use it in this case, even if it's belts & suspenders. What is really needed is a correct fuel line.
