How to keep AN fuel lines from leaking?
I just ran about 10 new AN connectors under the hood and was wondering how to keep them from leaking under the high pressure of FI cars.

If the hoses are properly assembled and the fittings aren't overtightened they'll be good for a whole lot more pressure than a F.I. system will have.

Absolutely not.
Thread sealers and tape are for fittings that seal with the threads, like pipe fittings. AN fittings seal on the flare.
