Thread tape on fuel fittings?

To solve a leak, can you use thread tape on fuel fittings?

Cheers

I had a leak on my fuel regulator and was recommended to use PTFE tape...

Don't know if it was right but I have had no issues with it and no complaints at SVA.

I think its worth doing while your there and saves the hassell at a later date, plus i saw Mark Evans do it on his westy.

There is some fuel resistant thread seal in a tube which is the right stuff for the job. I wouldn't use ptfe for anything other than water.
