Fuel lines, thread sealant?

Are you suppose to put thread sealant on the fuel lines where they connect to the TPI fuel rail?

No, but you should make sure the o-rings are in good shape. If they are not they need to be replaced.

Like Ed said, no sealant. These are "o-ring flare" setups and use the o-ring to seal the connection. Also, make sure you use the correct o-ring. They MUST be fuel line o-rings for that application. Using regular o-rings from Pep-boys or so could cause leaks.
