Fuel Pressure Gauge???

I just bought a fuel pressure gauge (for my 1990) that mounts on the schrader valve on the fuel rail.

My question is, can (do I) I use teflon as a sealer to ensure there are no leaks?

Thanks in advance!

just don't overlap the tape so it gets in the line

i prefer paste for that reason

tape can clog the guage and make it not work right.

don't over-paste it though either, it'll be jsut as bad

paste gets very messy if you mess up. Tape is the easy fast way to go

either will work, both have their drawbacks if used incorrectly
