Hi guys.


I bought a new propane tank for my vanagon and the instruction said that
its unlikely that I have to cut the pipe. Well, turns out that I kink
the pipe trying to adjust it to the new tank ! :-[


Any way , as a stupid person paying my craving DIY mistakes , I need to
rebuild the propane 3/8" copper tubing .


I know its type K for sure but I don't know if the original tubing is
soft or hard ?


To me , it is hard but online search said that you can't bend hard
copper  . Is that the case ?


What if I use a tubing bender on hard tubing. Should I buy soft tubing ?


Any input (of expert ) will be appreciate.


Thanks




Chris
