You should normally not use teflon pipe tape on gas fittings (the same goes 
for natural gas lines if you ever work on those). There is a yellow teflon 
tape for gas lines that you could use, but it probably isn't necassary. For 
gas lines you normally use a pipe thread compound that is goo-in-a-can.

For the regulator-to-tank fitting you probably won't need anything. Just 
tighten it up, then check for leaks with some soapy water. You'll need a 
wrench to get it on tight.
