This prevents air leaks?

Yea, if you've Pressed the Primer on the Tank....There's a 99% Chance it'll start sucking Air

Not only does it cause air leaks, but the orange orings used will also start deterating after awhile. Eventually it can lead to a clogged up carb. I removed mine a few weeks ago, I will be doing it on my spare fuel tank as well.

I just use some regular automotive gastket sealer(the black silicone). You could probably use the copper stuff....
