Well, the 7 or 8 being the number of new or re-connected fittings, 0 being the number of leaks. Hooray! No do-overs, tightenings, re-seals or re-flares in the install of a second tank on my '90 Westy and inter-connecting it with the #1 tank. I thank those who replied to my question about working with copper tubing. Originally, I was trying to re-use the tubing from the install on the '88 Westy, but because the #2 tank didn't have a regulator and the #1 tank had the old style reg., whereas on the '90, both tanks have the newer regulator, the old tube was going to require too much straightening and re-bending and wasn't going to work. Now, with all new tubing, it's done right. I will write up something a little more detailed later, if anyone is interested. Jerry |
