Good advice from Fred about using a tubing wrench, too many fittings butchered by using incorrect tools. See the bottom image in the photo below for a tubing wrench.
I would resist using "plumbers tape (Teflon tape) on oil and gas lines. Too much of a chance of a sliver of the tape getting into the fluid stream and causing other problems ranging from annoying to severe. Brass fittings with pipe threads should not require pipe tape or pipe dope to achieve a leak-proof joint.
