And now, For my next project....
I need to replace the water lines from the engine to the water heater.
They are some really old and nasty 5/8" heater hose that look about to fail. Sagging and flopping around.
I'm going to replace them with hard line. Steel or copper. 1/2" at the most, maybe 3/8 or 7/16 depending on the sweet spot in cost. I don't see the need to pump all that through the water heater, after a day of driving I'm betting a 1/4" line would do the job.
Yes there will be a flexible connection to the engine.
I would like hard plastic, i.e. pex, but since it has to handle 220 degrees I'm not sure thats a good idea.
Has anyone pursued this rabbit hole?
