Subject:      Re: installing new propane tank

If I remember right, plumbing is the only sector in Europe that does not use
Metric but English units.

Can't you use these flexible stainless steel hoses with wire mesh on the
outside (forgot what its called)? They're more expensive but bending would not
be an issue ... Sounds too easy, I bet there's something fundamentally wrong
with this idea.

Cheers
 Joachim
