Re: [Safarifriends] LP Gas

[Jim Kelley]

i probably didnt explain my "detector" solution very well... the safari detector is a "sniffer".. it goes off if it smells lpg IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA the pressure cguage shows a drop in pressure if there is a leak ANYWHERE in the system to protect yourself with sniffers, you would have to install them in quite a few places... refrig, water tank, furnace... all of which are semi-sealed compartments quite expensive and time consuming to install with the guage, if it shows a drop in pressure, you shut off the tank and drive to a plumber who can detect the location with his sniffer > From: "Terry Webner" > > The older Safari Motor Coaches were not built with an LP detector.
