It is never a good idea to use Teflon Tape for gas connections IMHO! Pieces of the tape can flake off and clog control valves, regulators or small internal passages. For hooking up even a dryer if the tape gets into the control valve you have a problem, mainly a ruined valve.
The correct method to seal connections and avoid problems in gas pipe is to use a good high quality TFE pipe thread compound with teflon.
You may not have a problem if you use teflon tape, but a ginked up regulator is a lot more expensive then a $4 tube of thread compound.
