Under Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 17, art.

The piping that connects an outside tank or cylinder to the mobile home must be made of copper or another approved metallic material, and it must be permanently installed and securely fastened rather than loosely run. This rule establishes minimum safety standards for fuel system installations in mobile home settings.

Operators and owners of mobile home properties subject to Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 17, art. II § 17-33 generally ensure that any fuel storage tanks or cylinders are anchored securely, positioned outdoors, and placed no closer than five feet from any mobile home exit. Compliant installations use copper or another approved metallic tubing for all exterior fuel lines, with piping permanently fixed in place rather than left unsecured. Routine inspections of fuel system components help confirm that installations continue to meet these placement and materials requirements over time.
