Hey does anybody know a good store to buy teflon tape? I went to my local Walgreens and they didn't seem to have any.

Any hardware store or anywhere that sells sprinkler parts.

Home depot, Lowes, even nurseries.

Any halfway decent hardware store will sell teflon tape. It's like $.89

Make sure the little container says "sealant" or "seal" on it, instead of "Anti-seize".

Look for the yellow stuff made for gas fittings. It's thicker and less prone to breaking up and shooting bits into yout valve/tank.

Acctually...you don't want the yellow stuff. Oddly enough, it's thicker, but it is also for LP uses. You want the HP 2000-3000psi rating that is white tape in a blue roll.
