Stainless propane hoses
Has anyone used stainless propane hoses to connect tanks to changeover valve ? Did they get hard as a rock like rubber hoses or did they stay reasonably soft and pliable ? thanks

This is the one I was interested in buying.

The hose itself is not much more expensive than a regular propane rubber hose. I'm tired of the rubber turning into a metal like substance. Think I will go ahead and get two of these. I would take Chris Bryant's opinion over others. IMHO, there is NO way a plain plastic hose will tolerate any amount of pressure. To prove my point, take a look at your water pump hose on your rig. Don't look like plain ole plastic to me. It's webbed to withstand a lousy 40 psi or better. Plus can y'all imagine what water taste like coming out of a 10 year old black rubber fuel hose ?????? Looks like new SS hoses for me.
