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.
