Just have a hose made at a propane place that can make legal hoses. I had a hose made at the beginning to go through the window of my RV at deer camp to my Mr Buddy heater.

I could not understand either why a 60# tank would be any different than a 20# tank. The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.- Albert Einstein

Had the hose made where I bought the tank and went. Sorry this may be against current PC rules. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~
