One wonders if its a scare tactic to buy over priced gas just because its suposedly filtered & dried?
    The copper piping will appear fine as it is degrading from the inside out you can not see it

    Oh rly!!!!

    Spoken from true peranoia! I was born raised and work with propane and to this day I live with it as my primary heating and cooling fuel, and in that 30 years not once have I seen copper damaged by propane or the junk usualy in it, from industrial multicylinder compressors to the bbq tank with the 30 foot direct burried copper line.

    So do please try again! bad information just annoies me!

    Any degraded copper I see is from hard water/to much flux used and left on the pipe but never once have I seen it degraded by the use of propane and or the contaminants found in it.
    Now in Redvers Sask.
