Hi! Richard
You will find that they are tapered threads which are meant to be dry
assembled, PTFE tape is notoriously dangerous for contaminating the fuel
system no matter how carefully used. I actually use just a slight
"smidge" of Hilomar jointing compound but only to stop the grinding
feeling as the unions are tightened.

Hi All,
I am fitting the factory water drains to to my tank and wanted to know
what is best to seal the threads where the joints screw together? My
first thoughts are PTFE Thread tape, or a smear of Redux. Or is there
something El's?
Thank You
Richard Wheelwright.
