When you install the gauge and the lines what do you use on the threads so they don't leak? Do you use blue thread locker or something? Thanks in advance.

If you are using AN fittings, you shouldnt need anything. The fitting seals itself.

I used an port fitting with the O-rings and used liquid teflon on the gauge port. I don't see how the fittings would seal itself because the ports on the FPR isn't flared. I might be wrong on that.
