Well, It seems this will be my year under the coach.... In a day or so, I will have the tanks defueled and down.

I want to put steel everywhere I can. Emery has suggested using brass compression fitting at the sending units.

Problem: Aren't there rolled barbs there to keep hoses on?
What does one do about those? I kind of hate to saw them off. I will if that is the good answer. I am not sure if I would rather that than use stubs of 30R9 to make the joint.

It is obvious that I will have to use 30R9 for parts of the system, I would just like to have those parts accessible for repairs that will be required later.

I am going to run double fill vents as far up as I can.

Matt
