Of course, if the aluminum tube isn't grounded anywhere, that holds true for it also. An interesting thought, however, I'll bet that at the low temperatures mentioned in Fred's post (-40F, I think it was) the plastic tubing will be as stiff as the proverbial wooden ----. Maybe using plastic doesn't buy you all that much after all - at least when encountering such low temps. Anybody know?
