Tape is fine, but i always use the liquid thread sealer with teflon. Never failed me.
And i run hydraulic fluid mixed with a little ATF for color (to see leaks).
Had them years now still work fine.

I just bought the 5000tl. That seems to be the one recommended by everybody.
Just sitting in boxes right now waiting for a nice day in Connecticut. Could be a long wait
