Has been for some time. All of the gas lines in my former house in Indiana
that was built in 2005 had this stuff. There was black iron pipe from the
meter to a manifold in the basement, and from the manifold out to all the
appliances it was the corrugated stainless stuff.

Much of the winter ambient is -20F. We were mostly trying to keep the water

55 is too high. Try 35, maybe. Or perhaps 10 degrees over

You're trying to keep relative humidity reasonable, and probably trying to keep

Hah! I was looking, but not hard enough. In sunlight I was
able to see an irregularity in the casting that looked like a
spot for a label.
Well here is what happened. Some weeks back I was moving the car from
one spot to another, started it up and it ran for maybe 30sec then
quit. Could not get it to start again. At one point I tried again,
cranked it forever and it ended up firing and belching black smoke, and

I can't get my head around the idea that new return lines would fix it. If they
were plugged they would be blown off by the pressure. If they leaked the
pressure would cause fuel to escape. Air on the return side would be pushed
through. Did you do anything else?
