Didn't use anything on it. Right now I've been turning it a bit tighter very gradually and then rechecking it. I can see where - even though it was lined up at about the same position as the old - I could actually turn it just by moving the gas line around - so obviously it really wasn't tight enough (probably could have been, as you say, with some tape on it - didn't think to do that cause there was nothing on the old (probably original?) one. The angle at this point is a bit off but - if the leak stops - I can always loosen and move the gas tank over just a bit and/or get a longer piece of gas line. It's really too short now as it is. When I first installed an in-line filter, I wound up cutting the one piece a bit too short. Right now I have the gas line passing on the inside of the throttle mechanism - might be able to move it to the outside. Trying to avoid re-draining the tank and taking the new valve back out if possible, but if that's what has to be done, no real problem.
