Copper tubing used for natural gas

Post by Jess »

Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked before (I tried to find the answer) - I was wondering whether it would be safe to reuse copper tubing used for natural gas? I have some lying around. It will just be an alcohol out tube and I'll give it a good clean - I'm not keen on using the plastic hosing that came with my still.

Thanks

the odor they put in NG and propane is mercaptan and it is tough to eliminate from a propane tank

Good to know thank you! It is smelly stuff indeed I think I've heard a bottle of it will supply our whole country for years or something crazy.
