3/8 O.D. copper tubing should give you more than enough gas supply for that length of gas line.A small BBQ type regulator is big enough to run your lights and heater. maybe upgrading to a better quality regulator wouldn't be a bad idea.

Is this 1/4" OD copper or 3/8" OD copper. If its 3/8 Od you will be fine but with 1/4 it might work or might not. According to my old code book you can get 92,000 btus from 1/2 id pipe in 20 feet.

its is 1/4 OD

Well that is pretty small for the furnace if it is easy I would replace it with 1/2 OD that is the size we would run to fixtures in a house the other option you would have is put a 2psi regulater on your tanks and then put a 2 pounds to 7" of wc regulater on the line for your 2 lights and a seperate one for your furnace. With 2 psi gas and 1/4" pipe you can run 285,000 btus at 15 feet.

i am going to run 5/16 in from the tank then go to a t with 1/4 comeing out one line going to the lights one going to the heater i think that should work all of that was all O D
