No.
I understand that the diesel reacts with the galvanisation and causes 'flakes' to lift off, this will cause blockage.

ya the galvanized pipecan be use in undergrounds,,, because it is an iron pipe
Galvanized plates can be used for certain applications involving diesel fuel, but they are not the best choice for a diesel fuel tank. The zinc coating can corrode over time when exposed to diesel, potentially leading to contamination of the fuel. It's generally recommended to use materials specifically designed for fuel storage, such as stainless steel or specialized plastic tanks, to ensure safety and longevity. Always consult relevant regulations and standards for fuel storage materials.
You can't. There is no fitting to do this. Galvanized has to be threaded.
No.
You should use black pipe -- Galv. pipe will flake off inside of pipe
To connect PVC to galvanized pipe, you can use a PVC to threaded adapter. This adapter has a female threaded end that can be screwed onto the male threaded end of the galvanized pipe. Make sure to use Teflon tape on the threads to create a tight seal and prevent leaks.
Yes, it's better pipe.
No, it is not safe to use galvanized pipe for gas because the zinc coating on the pipe can react with the gas and cause corrosion, leading to potential leaks and safety hazards. It is recommended to use black steel pipe or other materials specifically designed for gas applications.
Depends on local codes I use Galvanized piping and fitting when I know the piping is going to be exposed to moisture (dampness) or the elements
Use only black pipe
Black iron pipe is used for gas installations but ONLY if the piping is indoors. Outdoor gas piping is usually done in galvanized pipe. Steam is also piped with black pipe, fire sprinkler and standpipe systems also use black pipe.
To connect a galvanized pipe to a SharkBite fitting, you can use a SharkBite transition fitting specifically designed for this purpose. Simply push the fitting onto the galvanized pipe until it clicks into place, ensuring a secure connection without the need for soldering or special tools.
