As others have pointed out there is no need for thread sealer. It's the ferrules or tapered end on the fuel line that seals. All the thread sealer in the world won't stop a fuel leak.

I use a little Door-Ease on brass threads. It doesn't do anything to seal but does help to tighten a brass fitting without gauling the threads.
