Greame,
No PTFE tape. There are several brands of PTFE pipe seal compound (SAF-T-LOK,
Permatex, Swagelok, LocTite, etc.) that would do the job. They will seal the
joint and prevent seizing.

fittings but they leak, should I use PFTE tape (which is not recommended in
case threads of PTFE affect the sensor or block the flow, or maybe compound)
