I had problems using Teflon tape with not staying sealed. I'm a big 
believer in Teflon tape - even though some A&P's cuss it.
 
But there does seem to be some interaction between Teflon and the  5606 
red hydraulic fluid.  I had to rework a couple of fittings which normally 
would seal tight with Teflon tape.
 
Try a oil/fuel resistant pipe compound from the auto parts store.  You do 
need some sort of seal on pipe threads.

Hi All 

I am putting the fittings on  the gear cylinders and seem to remember some 
discussion ( that I cant find in my saved pile ) about the right way to 
seal the fittings on the hydraulic cylinders....... my normal practice 
would be to use Teflon tape.   Is this the best?? 

Thanks
