The Teflon tape should hold up to the premix, but it's secondary to the seal created by the NPT tapered thread arrangement on all the fittings.

As far as the push lock fittings, make sure they are in the locked position and they should not leak. I already locked them for you, but it doesn't hurt to check. Let me know if it turns out that they do leak and I will get you different fittings that will most definitely work, but aren't that pretty.

I cleaned the tank out before I shipped it, but it doesn't hurt to put some brake cleaner in the tank and swash it around to break up any Teflon, aluminum shaving, etc. A filter between the tank and the omp isn't a bad idea, there are units large enough that wouldn't cause a flow restriction.
