Yes AN flare fittings will absolutely NOT leak if properly fitted, and there
is no type of seal or sealer used.

Aluminum connectors
There are no O-rings in AN fittings. The threaded sleeve
that fits over the
braided line compresses it onto the fitting (self sealing
on the "rubber" hose
liner), and the fitting-to- fitting metal seal is
precision ground and a
tapered fit, and does not require an O-ring seal.
These fittings can be
disconnected and reconnected many, many times. If there
is a leak, there is a
nick or cut in something.
If you are assembling a new
braided line and fitting, the best way I've found
to cut the braided line is
to wrap it tightly with electrical tape directly
adjacent to the cut line, and
then use a circular power cut off saw to neatly
cut the line, as the braided
sheath tends to easily unravel.
