Is it OK to use teflon tape on the threads for the ends of hoses that go into power steering pumps?
I was told that it is a big no no to do so by a guy at work today, after it was changed out and rebuilt by him, and it still leaked very bad. So, I took it out again and used teflon tape on the fitting (L-SHAPE) on (HI-PRESSURE) output side, being very careful nut to wrap past the ends of the threads. I figured this would be OK. It stopped the leaked. This guy got all over my case because of it.
