yes you should. FYI it provides the surest possible fuel pressure.

use the paste. you don't want any of the tape to rip off and get in somewhere.

Andrew: Depends.. you want it to leak fuel or not? We left tape off Realtor's car one time and it was leaking nicely...

tape has always worked for me

For the FPR you do not need to use it...
But for the gauge, YES YES you need it... I try to install it without teflon tape
and there was a BIG leaking of gas...
