PTFE stands for: Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene Much better known as Teflon. A PTFE seal is a Teflon seal.
There are a number of sealants available to prevent leaks in pipes. If you don't want to use teflon tape, you can use a liquid sealant which will form a seal as it dries.
dynamic seal of pump means seal which prevents the leakage of fluid from pump shaft
NPT is a standard for threaded pipe and fittings. NPT stands for national pipe thread. NPT fittings are tapered thread fitting and usually rely on mechanical deformation in between the male and female fittings to create a seal in addition with teflon tape. Over tighteting may result in a leakage SAE O-ring fittings are straight fittings and rely on the O-ring to create the seal rather than deformation as in NPT fittings. Since these fittings do not depend on deformation chances of a broken fitting are virtually eliminated.

Teflon tape is good. There is now a teflon liguid sealer also. The old pipe sealer is still good. I used a piece of radio solder last year to seal a water meter joint when I lost the meter seal. Be inventive.

"Seal" by William Jay Smith was written in 1943.
In my experience it will leak.
A bit of teflon tape can work wonders.

No, teflon tape (and pipe dope, for that matter) should never be used on flare fittings. They are designed to seal without tape or dope, and may actually leak if tape or dope is used.
Teflon is inert to gasoline and all petroleum products. The problem with Teflon is it cold flows under pressure so that when tightened (when wrapped around your fitting) it will relax eventually and probably not seal properly. This is not something you want where gasoline can leak.
