I think the yanks use a yellow tape for petroleum based needs.

You're probably right John, liquid/paste would be a preferred option over any tape in a petroleum environment.

My opinion of course.
Yeah I half agree. I work in hydraulics and we still use tape quite a bit. We also have high quality cleaners to make sure our threads are prepped for use. We use the past on threads 2-3" in diameter with no problems.

My young bloke laughed when he saw this thread. He reckons that at last, something has stuck to Teflon; the tape's name.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
