And here's another example of the strange behavior of BRASS tubing.
This is a "feed-thru" for the top of a gallon fuel bottle, but the interesting thing
here, is that the worst breakdowns are where the brass tubing is in contact with
the VAPORS from the fuel, not the direct liquid fuel.
Any chemists here that can explain this behavior??? Could it be the close
proximity to the interface between the brass and the lead/tin solder used to
fabricate the fittings?
Cheers.
