just bought a 12gal. tank and a male fitting. I'm thinking I should rap the threads with Teflon tape....yes....no?

That or use Gasoila Varnish. Gasoila is great for threaded fuel fittings.

A couple of drops of Locktite on the threads is one of the best sealants you can get. You don't even have to cram it in super tight, allowing for some choice in final orientation. One of the blue screw lock grades will allow easy removal. Hint: it cures really fast on brass or copper.
