Try a dealer for Holley (speed shop?) or local full line auto parts store, sometimes they have them in a container with several assorted sizes. Teflon tape is used on tapered pipe threads as a friction reducer allowing a mechanical seal to be reached. It is not generally used a SAE/non tapered, straight threaded connection.
Inverted flares created in tubing ends along with coresponding brass fittings are often used in fuel lines to achieve a leakproof mechanical seal.
