Quick question.
On AN fuel system pipe thread connections, what is standard practice for assembling these connections?
Of particular interest is the connection between an AN867 aluminum welding flange to a AN816 aluminum pipe thread to nipple.
Teflon tape is absolutely out.
On aluminum, galling is a big concern.
Permatex has several options for thread sealant. Would any of these be preferred?

I couldn't find anything in AC43-13.
Thanks,
