[C320-list] Renewing gas piping

[John Morrison]

I replaced all the hosing  on the boat   The hosing and solenoid and regulator in the propane locker I had made up by the local propane shop. I removed what was there and took it as a model. The hose from the bottom of the propane locker to the stove, I purchased from the local chandlery. At 20’ it was a bit long but much cheaper than having one specially made up. I just used the old hose as a fish line to get it in. The hose on my boat goes thru a conduit so there is no need to secure it. I just secured the new hose as per the original one. Know that you should not use any kind of tape or other sealant on the hose connectors that are male and female connectors, they are designed to seal when tightened. The other type of connectors should be properly sealed when you have the propane shop make up what’s required in the propane locker. When done turn on all the gas, tank valve and solenoid switch, and test for leaks with soapy water. Good luck.
