There isn't a huge difference between 12 and 18 in terms of protecting the pipe. It does make a difference if it is a high maintenance line and you have to dig that sucker out every few years. I imagine the tank is fairly close to the house, so a backhoe may not be the way. Burying a gas pipe 36 is silly.
After digging by hand on both sides of the locate a good ways about 2.5 - 3 feet deep. Thought gas lines are not usually deeper than that they must got it marked wrong. Turns out when gas Co. put line in they deemed it cultivated land/field so they buried it 4 feet deep.
I cut a gas line with a jack hammer . I was installing a spancy fancy fence around an in ground pool. As it turned out the pool was placed without a permit so the line I hit had just been covered over with 3'' of slab not 3' in the ground that was called for. I tell you Guys I was talking like daffy duck to the 911 operator, it was a big trunk ...

PEX is approved for direct burial of those installation practices are observed. It is normal in my area to sleeve the PEX line in an oversized pipe or conduit of some sort.

Just hung my 110K 80% furnace in my shop. I turned the elbow on the unit to face up (towards roof). Directly above the furnace is the attic.
Its pretty much that easy. Of course you will need to run a 6 gauge wire to the air handler to operate it and the heater. 10 KW of resistance heat at 240 volts is 42 amps.
Why not tear down the brick chimney, eliminate it.....then install new deck over hole where chimney was. Then cut 6-8" hole and drop in a new B Vent pipe tieing it in below the roof line witht he existing pipe that is run out chimney..put a flashing unit around it and a storm collar and cap, seal it and call it done.
