The story:

I bought a new propane tank from Bus Depot and regulator to replace my old
rusty one.  It arrived, and I began the process of removing the old today.
I found that the old regulator was visibly in good shape (it had been
covered).

The problem:

Of course, installing the new regulator requires adjusting the length of the
propane lines as it is longer than the old stock one.  Additionally, the
propane lines are quite frozen to the old regulator.  I don't want to force
it and damage the lines, requiring me to replace those, too.

The question:

Would the regulator go "bad?"  Could I use the old one safely?  Or should I
just go ahead and use the new one, adjusting the lines as necessary?

I welcome any advice or thoughts on the matter.  I really don't want to turn
the van into a ball of fire.  Thanks!
