yes thats the stuff, you could try putting a new lot on it, wrap it around the thread anticlockwise about 5-7 times and then screw it back in, that should sort it out

dont overtighten the connectors when you put them back in the di vessel, just tighten them until the thread is as good as gone ok, they will tighten more but you will have peoblems connecting the hose back up
