When I installed my propane tank I noticed that the propane wires that I got with the kitchenette weren't long enough to reach the tank.( my vanagon is an 85' GL, I got a kitchenette, and am installing it into mine) I bought new copper wiring and went to the local rv place (i didn't have enough money to buy a flare) and the guy took off the hookups, and re-installed them without any problems from the flare. I don't think that you will have any difficulties with it or anything.
have fun,
Tracy

Everyone who has replaced the tank or installed the new, longer regulator
has mentioned having to bend the copper tubing (to make more room for the
longer regulator)

has anyone tried cutting the copper tubing and using a flare tool instead of
bending the tubing? I'm wondering if the tubing is a euro size and maybe the
American flare tool won't work right???

thanks,

Bill Davidson
