[AT] Massey 65 LPG fuel line

[Cecil Bearden]

I installed many propane systems on pickups trucks and tractors back 
when propane was only 0.12/gal.  We used copper for the lines from the 
tank to the heat exchanger on all the trucks and tractors.  We also 
flared the copper lines they fittings were very similar to water line 
fittings but we used refrigeration grade copper.  I have used air line 
for both vapor and liquid propane many times and not had a problem.  In 
the old days i think the propane hoses had a wire under the cover that 
made sure there was conductivity between the tank and the heat 
exchanger.  The tank was bolted to the truck, and the heat exchanger was 
bolted to the body, so I don't think the wire in the hose was really 
needed. The use a wired hose for a filler hose from the big tank to the 
fuel tank just to eliminate sparks from static...
