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 |

Just because a bunch of you have done boneheaded things and have gotten away with it doesn't make the practice right. If someone asks for advice, it means they don't know what the correct answer is. To advise someone to do something that is WRONG just because it hasn't bit you in the ass yet is just plain irresponsible! The FAA will not let you use copper in an airplane because it can kill you. If you feel the need to answer someone, please make sure your advice will not hurt them or an innocent bystander.
Just my $.02. |
