I know Teflon tape is not going to last forever, there is a fuel rated tape that I should have used(learned that after I did it) . But it starts for me every time, first time, and I'm sick of pulling the pump lol.
Permatex #1 form a gasket. It's gasoline safe, and hardening. You goop it onto the nipple, and put the pipe over it so that it fills all the gap, then clamp that **** down. It's been a year now, no issues.
