This article suggests yellow tape is the preferred sealing method and adequate:

actualy it doesnt, it says it is more conventiant for the worker to use as it is easier to carry , doesnt have a shelf life, and has no cure time. if you dont wrap it properly it can be the worst one you'll use.

I used to work for a gas company when I was a young lad and we would have been fired for using tape instead of liquid sealers. if you notice when the rv's come from the factory they use a liquid sealant also. the choice of liquid sealants is just as important though, you want to get a non hardining one, so it sets up but doesnt harden like a rock.

Liquid sealers are fast/easy ....just a quick wipe around the threads with the brush----Done

Yellow Gas Tape is just as effective and less messy.....just a couple of wraps in the RIGHT direction...done
Direction is important where as with liquid sealant---just swipe it on

Commercial/Production----time is money....liquid sealant is the choice
Yellow tape is good also.
