I had thought of something like that. The only issue with it is that it will be harder to find the next leak if it's inside of something. I was thinking maybe to use short sections of the PVC so that we could slide them back and forth. I don't know what the propane company would say about that. The line at my house is a copper line just like this one, and it's been buried 26 years without an issue.

A couple of years back, the propane tank that I rent from the propane company developed a leak in the regulator connection and I lost about 100 gallons that time too. That tank is 49 years old, but they don't want to replace it. So 2 of the last 3 years I have lost about a half tank of gas. I wish I had left the wood heater in it.

Thanks for all the replies.
