	Hi H.L.:

	I don't doubt what you say. The 6 PSI was a figure I was told by an 
installer when I asked him. He may well have not known since he was used to 
just installing new stuff that was already set.
	I suspect that 50 feet of buried copper tube makes a pretty good ground. 
:-)   Kind of hard to drag around behind a tractor though. I wonder if LP 
tanks ever get struck by lightning and if they do does it foul their spark 
plugs?   ;-)
	Is Ricky Prescott still around? Is anyone still in contact with him?
