Re: Cutting gas line

I've done it before, what you want to do is open the line up and let it air out for a while. I saw a gas company employee once use a match to clear a line, and it just made a small poof out the end. I wouldn't try it myself, but cutting the gas line isn't really that dangerous. Just to be safe though I would let the line air out.

Ever watched them *weld* gas lines together while they are still charged with gas? I was quite amazed to see that operation, and even more so when they told me it was a common operation.

Better them than me....
