You should normally not use teflon pipe tape on gas fittings (the same

for natural gas lines if you ever work on those). There is a yellow

gas lines you normally use a pipe thread compound that is goo-in-a-can.
Why shouldn't I be using teflon tape? Does it just not help, or does
it actively impair the seal?
(This is a very timely question since I just emptied my big tank and
need a refill....)
