Default Re: Wood clothes pins on the gas line

I have another theory about clothes pins on gas lines. While wrapping a piece of aluminum foil around the gas line making it look like a flap and holding it in place with clothes pins; that would be an effective heat sink. But another thing that occurs is the gas line will now vibrate at a different frequency. That vibration, in my opinion, contributes some to gas percolation. I think this is why sometimes clothes pins work, and sometimes they don't.

What do others say?
