Use teflon tape on braided fuel lines?
Just finishing up on my fuel injection install and I was going over everything I installed and was wondering if I should use teflon tape on the AN fittings used with braided fuel lines. For the most part they are all Summit and Russell fittings, and I used Summit stainless-steel braided fuel line, -8AN feed, -6AN return.

Thats is correct. Use the tape only on the pipe threaded end of the fitting, not the flared end. Don't let any of the tape get near the inside end so it won't be able to get inside of the hose.
