Re: Hose between propane tank and regulator?
Thanks again all. I just went to the shop, and maybe he was confused when we talked on the phone yesterday... He showed me probably the same 350 psi hose for much cheaper than the $100 hose and said I could use it as a pigtail. He also mentioned a limiting device or something similar if I wanted to add an extra later of protection (I forgot what it's really called, but I think it keeps gas from coming out of the tank at full pressure before it gets to any hoses). I think the guy is honest, I just think he or I was confused yesterday.394Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hose between propane tank and regulator?
Thank you. It seemed like any of those pigtails on Amazon would do what I want. The Mr. Heater one says it's good up to 210 psi. Since the propane is just for running our furnace, we won't even have the tank open when it's hot out (and supposedly that's when tanks get near 200 psi). If I'm understanding correctly, I guess the risk is that unregulated high pressure could break a hose, and maybe MexicoWanderer's suggestion is for a hose that's even less likely to break. Thanks again.392Views0likes0CommentsHose between propane tank and regulator?
This may be a dumb question, but can I have any hose between my propane tank and the regulator? My propane compartment is a little tight for hooking up a two stage regulator. If I could have a foot or so of hose (so the regulator doesn't hook right into the tank valve) it'd work. It seems like that's what a pigtail does although I might be misunderstanding (I only have one propane tank, if that matters). The guy at the propane shop said I'd need expensive high pressure hose (over $100 for 3 ft). Pigtails are $10, but I don't know if they're beefy enough. Thank you.2.9KViews0likes9CommentsRe: looking for a truck camper for a toyota tacoma

Maybe Phoenix also. FYI we use a Restop Commode, which is probably not as nice as a cassette toilet (I've never used one), but you just throw the bags away. Plus it's waterproof/sealable so it works for some river restrictions.533Views0likes0Comments
