I have been worried about my gas lines between the tanks and the regulator for a while now. I was planning on putting stainless steel back instead of the PEX like stuff that is on there now. They have copper rings on them just like PEX. I could smell gas so I started twisting on the loose joints and gas came out. I knew we would run out of gas pretty fast at this rate not to mention the fire hazard.
So I got out the PEX pliers and they were too big but I have another PEX tool that uses a vice grip to crimp the PEX rings. As luck would have it, the vice grip tool had a position that was just the right size. I am assuming it was 3/8". Well it fit the gas line crimps perfectly and no more leak. I tested with soap and water. No bubbles. This will get us past this trip.
This would have messed us up. No stove, not hot water and no fridge on the road.
