Go to the plumbing section and get the yellow Teflon tape for gas pipe.....Cost is less than a dollar.....

There is a special sealant for gas connections. It looks like a yellow pipe dope. I don't think it's silicone base. It's sold at Home Depot and Lowe's. I thing I would use that instead.

Better to use the right pipe compound or teflon tape ( yellow for gas) on the fittings.
Either is inexpensive & the compounds & tape are marked "for gas fittings"

I would call your local gas supplier and ask this question. I would personally ask a professional as to the hazardous nature of this work. Good luck!
