Re:Gauge Sensor Dope or Tape Recommendations?
I used TFE pipe dope on my liquid connections(fuel, ATF).
Just enough to fill the threads, none on the sealing surfaces of AN connectors.
None on the boost connections.
Anti-sieze on the Pyro/Thermocouple.
Stay away from the tape.
(doesn't allow good ground connections, pieces can break off and get into the VP injection pump or Valve Body)
