Question:

Could I use this as a 90 degree on my travel trailer tanks? Have limited space under cover with using a stop leak system and a 90 would help with that issue.

I would recommend using something like the MB Sturgis Propane Elbow Adapter # 204163, which is an adapter that will allow you to get the 90 degree angle you are needing. This adapter has the same fittings the hose you were looking at has. I don't recommend bending the Propane Hose # 37207-31395 to get the 90 degree, because while it is made to reduce kinks, you are going to be reducing the gas flow by putting such a big bend in the hose. You can use hose # 37207-31395 after the adapter or propane hose # 100040-72-MBS (6 ft.) if you need a longer hose.
