Is there any reason that I should not use copper tube for splicing gas line? I'm not sure if gas does magical things to copper so I figured someone in here should know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
I layed my fuel line around the front of the engine thinking "it has a perfect little shelf to rest on." (dumbshitmove) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Well... too much slack and it vibrated down on to the fan pully & scored a nice little leak. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) The 1.7 I had in there didn't have as much exposed pully area but this 2.0 sure does. I'm moving it away from that place of residence real fast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) .........b |

Hmmmm.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
I have about a 3-foot loop of 3/4" soft copper pipe connecting the head of my compressor to the tank. I put it there 15yrs ago, the thing vibrates like a dild.., err, a lot. Also there are 2 finned copper lines connecting the low-pressure side to the high-pressure side of the head. They would be almost 60yrs old. WW2 surplus compressor, 160-gallon tank running at 160 PSI. I think I'd know real quick if it failed. |
