R/R Fuel Pump brass fittings what sealant do I use?

[ejnichol]

R/R Fuel pump on 5.0GXI 2007. It has three brass fittings that assemble to go from tank line to fuel pump body.

It had some type of dope or sealant on threads. What do I need to use that I could pick up at parts place like autozone or oreilly's?

Can I use Teflon tape? I'm at lake and don't have my collection of chemicals (sealants etc) from my shop here with me.

Thanks Eric

Any of the thread lockers or permatex #3 would work.

teflon tape can work, however you have to be careful not to get any bits of the tape in the pump.

Thanks Scott.

Will test fit to see how far in to put tape without it shedding into stream.

Don't really won't to buy anymore stuff that I have back home.
