I was thinking it would be safer to use several brass flex lines for gas,
connected with straight pieces of galvanized pipe. I got some at a garage
sale, they are covered in green corrosion, but I can use a wire brush
attached to a powerful motor to clean all this off. I can then coat them
in cosmoline to protect them from moisture.
