The PIPE threads (and only the pipe threads) must be sealed (I generally use tite-seal). The flares, B nuts etc. go together dry.

Vlad is that sealant I see on the B-nuts? If so that's a no-no.

Well, it does say EZ Turn, making threaded connections easier to turn. Just kidding. One must have thick skin to post pics on the net.

FYI: Tom is making me a full set of FWF teflon firesleeved lines to replace the homade ones, I'm a big believer is letting the pro's do what they do best and Tom is a pro at making lines!
I would suggest everyone do the same unless you have the proper tools/materials/training to do it properly.

Thanks RocketBob for looking over it.
It's a bit of EZturn on threads only flares installed dry. Every one hundred hours I inspect fuel lines the only seep was found at a gascolator fitting.

This exactly why I went with Tom to fabricate teflon lines for the fuel lines from tank to selector valve and selector valve to fuel pump. More expensive, but after critically reviewing MY flares it was an easy decisiion.
