I decided to check the propane line I installed a few years back for leaks since I smelled just a bit while up on a ladder.
I managed to fix this one in the area where I smelled propane . . .
Then I went to the next connection down-stream and sure enough, there's a leak. (I suspect I created it by fixing the leak in the above picture which is upstream.)
These two shots show what I'd have to dis-assemble, tape again, then reassemble if that's what I decided to do.
So I'm looking for suggestions on fixing this leak, the pipe going into the elbow. Or is it more trouble than it's worth? :unknown:
What would be acceptable?
Would heating the connection with a heat gun possibly help?
Are there other options?
Looking for suggestions . . . :munch: :munch:
