Thanks Raftan, I'll keep that ref. handy. But for now, I think I'll take good advice and leave those high pressure lines alone and see how the other changes work out.

Last year when reddog1 pointed out that when a member of the truck camper forum posted a picture of a beautiful tubing project that the project placed water piping directly above an electrical outlet I didn't comment negatively about it... I saw it of course.
I assume the electrical outlet was later removed... before the system was put online.
I still think the plumbing job was beautiful... even if it did cause a potential code violation.
Sorry about my choice of 11 oz... it was confusing.

Actually, at the time this poster did not wish to get into a "blanking" match with Reddog1. The reality of that situation was it was not a code violation according to the AHJ. Even if it was, that falls under Division 16 Electrical, not Division 15 Mechanical which is what we do.
But thanks for the kind words, I think we can all move forward now.

Are you looking to drag up a old ***ing match? I'll challenge you to show me where that's a violation of either US or Canadian code. Cite the article...

Never had a problem on the RV’s, but I have a Weber Q grill. I am on the third regular in nine months due to oil. I use a 20 lbs. tank with a 25 ft. hose to the regular how it gets from the tank that far I don’t know.

It is regrettable when members who are asking questions and sharing information have their discussion derailed by those who clearly have chips on their shoulders or who use forums like competitions. I have no patience for this and will not be posting on this topic again. Many thanks to the original posts/posters who were seeking solutions to a difficult problem.

I had a "natural" kink in my hose from the reg. to the fitting at the entrance to my camper in the propane tank bay. Seems that when the cold weather striked it lost all of its ability to flex and thus created a slowing of the flow of propane. This caused my heater to become very stubborn about starting although it would on occasion, it would make a pulsating sound. All of my other appliances worked just fine adding to the troubleshooting process. Anyhow I know this is slightly off topic now after reading the above threads but I thought it would be a heads up for some.

I think your comments fit well.
I have a friend in the aircraft service business in Kansas City.... he tells me that many time they find that if there has been a kink in the hose the laminations will seperate... the outside will look ok... the inside will be closed off. He says if you cut the hose into you'll see the seperations.
He says... always replace any hose that has been kinked.

Thanks Sleepy, yep the hose is going to get replaced just for the simple fact that unless I manipulate it in cold weather to stay bent a certain way I will inevitably end up with this problem again. My thought is to hard pipe it from the regulator to get it up and out of the way of the tank and to get rid of the rubber hose that I don't really trust in the first place. I will rest better knowing that my hose isn't kinked.

Do you think you'll have a problem with vibration loosening the fittings?
