Nope, they're a 37 degree flare fitting, no o-rings or sealant required.

Are you talking about the GM quick push-connect?

3/8 pipe thread, assuming they're aftermarket rails? I'd use a little teflon tape on them. Some say do, some say don't.

Nothing comes to mind. Maybe lube the o-ring a little bit. It should just click into place.

Why use the Quick Disconnect Fitting if you don't really need to ? AN Threaded fittings works and seals great and better than the Q/D.
How offen to you disconnect the fuel line from the Rail ? If you have a need, then use the Q/D. my 2 cents...
