Subject:Teflon tape difference: Propane Leak solved
From:Bulley

One is yellow. The other is white.

Interestingly, my propane guy (and I seem to recall the instructions to my
regulator confirmed) that teflon tape isn't needed/isn't good for propane
fittings. I' don't know anything more about it...

Don't forget that for gas you have to use the YELLOW teflon tape, not the
white.  Many store clerks don't know this, so be careful.  It is not the
same thing and does matter.

 Also use some teflon tape. The Clerk was nice enough to
 give me a one foot piece, which saved me from buying a whole role.
