    I was recommended Hercules Grrip Pipe Joint and Gasket Seal by a few of the High Pressure Gas techs where I work. They deal with it all the time.
    When chasing down a few leaks myself, I was told that you can use up to 15 wraps with about 6 minimun of the cheap teflon tape (the thin stuff). If you use Stainless thread tape it takes fewer wraps.

    My truck used to drop the rear passenger completely because of leaks in three of the bag lines, but since redoing everything with this stuff, I can leave it aired up while on vacation for a week and not lose any pressure. I'm really impressed.

      Loctite 567 liquid teflon.

      Teflon tape can clog up valves if there are any strands in the lines. liquid teflon doesnt harden, and doesnt break away causing valves to block up/get stuck open/closed.
