Sorry guys but Teflon Tape is alright to use BUT you must skip the first 2 Threads. The problem would be that the tape or even the dope fragments would come loose and get stuck in an orifice. I found that the Teflon pipe dope needs to cure prior to getting pressure, actually Lock Tight makes a much better product.
I have done allot of Pneumatic and Hydraulic work (even have certificates). Even a slight leak in the system would make the leveling loose air over time, I have sat 6 weeks at an RV Park and stayed level without an air compressor on but that is ok, everyone needs a learning curve.
