[Healeys] fuel line

I guess that easiest way to look at the tape, no-tape issue is if the tube  
joint has a flared connection (including compression fitting) or not. There is  
no reason to use tape on a flared fitting as the fluid seal is at the flare 
not  the threads. Actually having to much tape on the threads of a flared 
fitting may  keep the fitting from exerting adequate pressure on the back side of 
the flare.  Sloppy home made flares also cause a bunch of problems.
