Don,
See I learn something new every day. I knew it was lower but did not know it was as low as 30psi.
Why so low?

Actually 30-36 I think is normal for my car. 30 was at idle. Ken explained all the variables over on the PorChip thread this morning. It's all over my head. I hear "blah, blah, blah, vacuum, blah, blah, temperatures, blah, blah..."

My 2 cents worth.
The anti seize is just that, anti-seize, just as Stan has said and Bill has advised to check the sealing faces. If you follow their advise it should seal.
Telfon tape only seals when the threads of the union are the actual sealing faces.
I you do as sugggested you will reduce the friction between the thread faces and the end of the nut where if fits onto the collar of the joint piece. With the reduced friction you will obtain more force applied axially onto the actual joint faces.

Thanks to all who helped out with the leak in the fuel line off the fuel cooler. I added some anti-seize to the threads and tightened, pressurized the system, and so far no leaks.
