NG will eat away at copper. Replace it ASAP.

What about propane? The propane gas pipe on our boat is copper and about 30
years old.
As part of a refit am replacing gas line anyway. Also take precaution of
always turning off at the propane bottle/tank, a 15 pounder in a separate
ventilated locker at stern of boat, when cooker not in use. However there
will always be gas in the pipe.
Just curious.

PS. Is it because of certain impurities (maybe sulphur etc.) in NG that
corrodes copper?


This is Turtle.

Propane does not react to copper like natural gas does.
