In Response To: Re: Gas Engine/ Copper or Rubber Lines? (John F.)

Thank you for that info I have been on a waiting to hear back from my local Coast Guard Regulation personel on this matter. In the mean time I just kept looking for recomendations and regulations on this matter.
Its not a big job, but thought it would be important to do the best way possible, especially now with the kiddy poohs on board.
Seems it's one of thoughs " ask ten people get 12 different answers type questions".

Anyway, think I'll go rubber hose, double clamp and secured inside PVC tubing with grommets at the ends. As mentioned it will be A1 hose all the way with mettalic fittings (who would use plastic anyway). I feel safer with the rubber hose as it's easier stuff to check. I had copper tubing which looked Okay, but after playing with it a bit, she started leaking.

Then again, I'll see what the local Coast Guard comes back with. Should be interesting.

Thanks for the input.
