Brilio.net - Have you ever cooked but stopped because the LPG gas ran out? The stove fire went out so the cooking process was disrupted. Like it or not, you have to replace the gas cylinder first.
However, the process of replacing gas cylinders is sometimes hampered. Such as the regulator not fitting the mouth of the gas cylinder, the rubber seal being too stiff, and so on. Due to several reasons, the gas flow does not flow perfectly to the regulator hose. As a result, there is a flow of gas that actually comes out of the gas cylinder or what is usually called a leak.
A number of people use various methods to overcome the problem of leaking gas cylinders . One way is to patch the mouth of the gas cylinder with a piece of rubber band. The addition of this rubber piece fills the remaining space between the regulator and the gas mouth. That way, the gas flow can flow perfectly without leaking again.
But don't just use rubber bands, it turns out there are other tools that can be used to deal with leaking gas cylinders. The method was demonstrated by YouTube user Come On Be Creative. It can be seen in the video upload that this netizen relies on one type of waste to patch up his gas cylinder.
Curious about how?
The way to deal with leaking gas cylinders is to only use 1 type of waste.
Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Come On Be Creative on Wednesday (17/4), one type of waste used is tire rubber. On the other hand, pour betadine* liquid onto the surface of the gas cylinder mouth. Then put the piece of tire rubber on top.
"This function is only to indicate that the size is like that," he explained.

If so, then cut the tire rubber according to the pattern. Next, make a hole in the center of the tire rubber piece. Then attach the rubber piece of tire to the bottom of the gas regulator. Press with a needle so that the piece of tire rubber fits perfectly.

Next, directly attach the regulator to the gas cylinder as usual. Don't forget to press the key until you hear a "click" sound. Because the tire has been patched with rubber, there is no more space left between the regulator and the mouth of the gas cylinder.

As a result, there is no more gas leaking.
How to use gas cylinders economically so they don't run out quickly.
There are several tips you can use to use gas cylinders sparingly so they don't run out quickly.
1. Check for leaks.
Make sure there are no leaks in the gas cylinder or regulator. Leaks can cause gas to be wasted.
2. Use an efficient stove.
Choose a stove that is efficient in using gas. A stove with a good combustion system can maximize gas use.
3. Use appropriate fire.
Adjust the fire intensity according to cooking needs. Use enough fire for cooking but not too big so that gas is not wasted.
4. Use a pot or pan lid.
When cooking, use a lid on a pot or pan to speed up the cooking process and reduce gas usage.
5. Clean and scale maintenance.
Clean the stove regularly so that the gas path is not blocked by dirt. Carry out routine maintenance on the regulator and stove so that they continue to function properly.
