Can a gas hose be too long?

The length of the domestic gas hose pipe is not more than two meters, which is to prevent excessive gas storage in the pipe due to the pipe is too long, resulting in pipe corrosion or loose connection and gas leakage.

Generally speaking, the price of the gas hose pipe is related to the material and brand, and it is generally calculated together with the installation cost because of the need for professional installation.After installing the natural gas hose pipe, we should pay attention to proper protection, do not seal the gas hose pipe, do not disassemble the gas hose pipe without permission, etc. Now, let’s get to know the knowledge of gas hose pipes!

According to the regulations, “when the hose is connected to the fuel, the length of the hose should not exceed 2 meters and there should be no joint.” The reason why the length of the gas hose pipe is not allowed to exceed 2 m is to reduce the gas storage in the hose. Because in the process of use, there will be some natural gas left in the gas hose. If the hose is too long, it will not only have corrosion effect on the hose, but also have the risk of gas leakage.

Moreover, it is easy to hook and touch the hose in use, leading to the situation that the connecting part of the hose falls off or becomes loose, then causing the gas leakage if the gas hose pipe is too long.

The length of the domestic gas hose pipe should not be too long or too short. If the hose is more than 2 meters, it will increase the resistance of the intake pipe, reduce the heat flow of the stove, and lead to the loosening of the connection. If the hose is too short, it is easy to pull the phenomenon, resulting in the hose off.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, the length of the gas hose pipe should not exceed two meters, so that the personal safety and hose safety are guaranteed.

Okay, latest update:

Was down at the boat tinkering with the engine for a couple of hours yesterday. Went through the fuel hose and tank... all good. Quick connector... all good. Fuel pump, as far as I can tell... all good.

I changed the spark plugs for new ones, and there's a good, hot blue spark from each. Have no way of doing a compression test while she's on the water... will get all of that done by the mechanic once she's back on dry land. Can "feel" what seems like similar pressure if you hold your thumb over the spark plug holes and crank it (I know... useless test, but at least it tells me there's something happening in there).

Bottom line: once primed she starts fine, idles for about 10-15 seconds, then gutter and dies. I can keep her going for a bit longer by repeatedly pumping the key to fire the electronic primer solenoid, but eventually she always dies.

Giving her a bit of throttle manually as she idles caused her to rev a bit, and then die immediately.

After loads of faffing about I finally gave up, took off the carb and brought it home (what idiot hid the nut to get the carb off right in behind the starter motor?).

Took it apart and cleaned it up last night. Still "looked" spotless from the last time it was cleaned, but...

...there was some unidentifiable gunk clogging the high-speed jet AND the little channel that sits just beneath it and exits opposite the drain plug.

I think there are a couple of other problems too.

I don't have a carb repair kit, but have requested one from a local dealer and will fit all new bits and bobs as soon as I can. Most of the existing gaskets and seals LOOK perfect, but there is one washer/gasket that's definitely borderline around the head of the slow speed / idle needle valve.

What happens if there's air getting in through there...? Guessing that could be causing an idle problem, right?

While I'm waiting for the carb repair kit I've re-used existing seals and gaskets to put the carb back together. Will put it back on the engine and see how she behaves over the next day or two... but not hoping for too much until I get the carb kit with all the new bits in.

One other problem I noticed... the adapter that screws into the carb to hold the slow-speed needle valve won't tighten in properly. It's as if the thread is burred either on the adapter (which looks OK) or on the carb itself.

Hoping it's the former... because otherwise I'm going to need a new carb :-(.

Have tried to get everything to fit and seal as best I can for the moment, and will give it a try.

Will be putting the cleaned carb back on later today or tomorrow. Will keep you posted... and given that the carb is a bit dodgy if I go anywhere in it I'll be keeping the 5HP Seagull (1974 ) auxiliary engine fuelled up and ready to go, just in case.

Thanks for all your help and advice.

All the best,

Calvin!
