It should just peel off. As for the fuel in the lines, just use a rag to catch any spilled fuel when you disconnect the lines...
I assume that the kid accidentally put teflon tape on the flared side of the AN fitting? If that's the case, then the fitting itself may be damaged. If the teflon tape is on the NPT/metric side of the adapter fitting, then it's supposed to be there.

There is no adhesive on teflon tape. It just wraps around the threads. If it doesn't peel off easily you can probably gently brush it off with a brass brush

Just peel it off. If you can't peel, then hit it with brake or carb cleaner.

*Edit: I did not take into account the annodized finish on your fittings. A brush probably will scratch the finish if you are not very carefull.
