Bought a new outboard gas tank (plastic). Bought the OMC fitting (brass). The female end on the tank is a black plastic material. The male end that screws into the tank and then accepts the OMC gas line is brass. Do I screw the brass fitting into the plastic housing with or without some sort of pipe dope or teflon tape? What is the recommended process? If some product is advised to seal the threads, what would be compatible with plastic, brass, and gasoline? Maybe I am fine without any sealer? Thanks.

We're usually fully stocked but you caught me on a bad night!
Tuesday night is usually "board meeting" night if you know what I mean. Stop in and have a tasty beverage some Tuesday night after these holidays are over and things get back to normal.
Im sure I will be back soon my kids go through the pork burgers pretty quick. Suzy knows who I am she can help ya. Cant ever turn down a nice cold Busch Light.
Nice to finally meet you tonight. Make sure you tell me who you are again next time you come in. I will probably forget.
Let me know when you are dropping in again and I'll make sure we have more of those beverages around!
