Only if you want it to be leak free
I just put it on everything with a thread as a matter of course.
word of warning, sure i have read on suppliers sites before, don't over tighten tank fittings.

Its probably hemp. The old stuff used back in the day. They used to call it Italian hemp. Looks like cycle string.
