Some Gas Distribution companies have used a special plastic pipe with a 
metallic thread or thin wire embedded in the pipe to aid in locating the 
buried lines, because normal plastic pipe IS non-conductive. You might want 
to check with the source of your pipe if possible. Otherwise the burn pattern 
could be interesting.
