2012 IFGC Section 404.17.3 requires a tracer wire to be installed adjacent to underground nonmetallic piping (LP).

Would a marking tape be approved in lieu of tracer wire? No listing on yeloow tape, notes "Caution GAS LINE".

I have researched and cannot find an evaluation report or approved listing for this application. The Tape is Empire, Magnatec Premium Detectable underground warning Tape.
 
Looks like the tape you mention serves the same purpose as the wire (inductive and conductive trace)

I'd allow it.
