you don't use tape but you need to use some Teflon paste.  Joe

Take the pump apart and tap it deeper so you can get more threads
yeah, that's what I'm leaning towards, think I would feel the most comfortable.

i just looked at the M60514 pump and it looks like it has a 3/8 inverted flare.

You can be looking at 2 things that are out of spec.. the pump might be on the small side and the fitting on the large size.. I see it a lot... easiest thing is the run a tap in deeper into the pump(take it apart) EDIT the reason is the coating they put on the pump and the fittings... its done after the threads are cut

this is what it looks like with fitting as tight as i feel comfortable with.
Myself I dont like the fitting sticking out that far..
too easy to break them off... if you have your next
fitting on it and bang into it, its likely to break
off right at the pump

Personally, after seeing that I too would run a tap, make sure it's a NPT Tap and go in so more threads are sent into the pump. Just don't go crazy with the tap.And remember to put a little grease on the tap so the shavings don't go into the pump but stick to the tap.

I'd prefer taking the cover off over grease , but when tapping with a pipe tap , go maybe a turn at a time.
They open up quickly , so it isn't going to take a whole lot to sink the fitting in where you want it.
