UNI, I believe you can get it at most autopart stores. I think the general name for it would be like Permatex hi temp pipe sealant. Anyhow, it will be in the adheives section.

What does that sensor do? Does it make any critical decisions?
What possible sumptoms, like loss of power? Can there be?

From what they are saying, it only tells if the fuel filter is stopped up.

Yep, tells when the filter is plugged, that's it! I've never had one of mine light up due to a plugged filter. The filters get replaced fairly often though. I think the engine would run pretty bad before the filter plugs

that sensor is on the intake side of the filter, so a piece of teflon tape wouldn't likely cause any trouble. unlikely that any would break off anyhow.

as a rule, tapered thread gets tape and straight threads get anti-seize.

i changed that sensor out this summer (due to leaking) and mine was 80 bucks at the dealership- couldn't find it anywhere else.
