Hi,
I have an indoor (utility room) oil condensing boiler and there is very slight leak where the incoming fuel pipe connects. Even though the leak is very slight the smell is quite bad in that room. I asked my plumber to sort it out and he did reduce the leak but did not sort it completely. It's getting hard to get him back to sort out these little issues so I thought I'd have a go myself. Some questions

Some questions
- can I use white plumbers tape to help seal the connection or is it unsuitable for sealing oil pipes, eg. does diesel/kerosene break it down ?
- is there some kind of sealer/putty/etc I can use if tightening and plumbers tape doesn't quite finish the job ?
- any other suggestions would be appreciated
