-All nearby sources of ignition should be removed.

-The cylinder valve should be closed and any plug or cap securely replaced.

-If the leak cannot be stopped, the cylinder should be:

DEALING WITH LEAKING LPG CYLINDERS

General Guidelines

Cylinders should be inspected regularly for leakage. Never attempt to find a leak by means of a naked flame. Leakage can be detected in any of the following ways:

  • By sense of smell
  • By sound of escaping gas
  • By condensation or frosting round the leak

Leaks may be confirmed by brushing soapy water over the suspected leak source. Signs of bubbles will be observed from the location of the leak.
