I have used Permatex #2 on threads before. The modern stuff I use Teflon paste.

Thirty five yrs ago I bought a can of fuelube for my Piper's fuel valves. Then I took out a shot glass full and gave the rest to my IA at that time. It ran out so I went to refill the shot glass last summer. The IA said it was too valuable to share (my can was now his). So I bought this> https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catal...ezturnlube.php for my Taylorcraft annual and carb/fuel line fittings. I'll never outlive the tube. Gary N36007

I either use fuel lube or teflon paste. I have also use permagasket, usually whatever is convienent.

Looks like the ASS easyturnllube carries the day or the fuel lube comparable they offer...

My observation has been that it doesn't take very much sealant to be effective. You don't want any little "squeeze-out" bits or portions to find its way into your fuel system.

Makes common sense.
