ptfe tape for gas
You can buy PTFE tape marked as suitable for gas. However, I was told by a corgi registered plumber that it should not be used for gas! They reckoned you should use gas jointing paste only. Any views on this?

As far as nat. gas installs I would tend to use the paste as its supposed to be non-hardening, so a joint that gets moved ever-so-slightly remains sealed, PTFE after time will tend to set, any movement=leak.
