The old square diaphragm regulator was discontinued years back. The
modern round diaphragm versions are all a little longer. There is no
option but to carefully bend the lines for the longer ones. I have done
it many times, as have lots of others. Do not use a single stage BBQ
regulator as they are not safe for vehicle use. Use only a 2 stage
regulator, like the original was.
