HELLO, I HAVE A NEW PROPANE STOVE. (PLASTIMO NEPTUPE 4500-1 SER#857743). THE GAS INLET IS A 8MM BARE TUBE. I'VE BEEM TOLD I NEED TO FLARE IT AND USE A 5/16" FEMALE FLARE TO 3/8" MALE FLARE TO HOOK ON HOSE AND REG. SO THAT ALL MAKES SENSE TO ME BUT i CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANYWHERE THAT SELLS A FITTING LIKE THAT FOR PROPANE!

Re: Hookup propane lp stove?

Hi. First, is that the advice that Plastimo gave you? I'd get direction from the company that made the thing. Second (and hopefully you know this already), using bulk propane tanks safely on a boat is much more involved than just hooking it up to a regulator and tank. Will the tank be housed in a vapor-proof propane locker, vented to the outside, and with an automatic shutoff solenoid?

I apologize if you've already taken care of the safety aspects, but some people don't klnow this stuff.
