Use the yellow tape. Its specifically for gas. I also use a small amount of pipe dope on the female fittings. Pressure test the new work separately, or if its a small add on use a soap solution to test your work.

Can you use Teflon tape to seal a propane line?
While there are Teflon lubricants, Teflon (PTFE) thread seal tape is most definitely for sealing threads. There are relevant standards for these and they are UL listed for such use. Typically for propane & natural gas you would want to use yellow thread seal tape. It is thicker than the standard white. I prefer it over "pipe dope" as it does not harden up with time, and it is guaranteed to have even coverage. In addition to it's ability to seal, the lubricating effects of the tape allow easier tightening of joints, further reducing the liklihood of a leak.
