Brilio.net - After being used to light the stove several times, the LPG gas can run out and need to be replaced with a new one. Generally, many people replace LPG gas cylinders after 2 or 4 weeks of use. However, the process of replacing LPG gas cylinders is often avoided because not everyone knows the tricks to handle it.
The reason is, LPG gas cylinders can leak even though the regulator is installed tightly. This is also often experienced by netizens on the Lensa Elektro YouTube account. He often found LPG gas cylinders leaking due to a gap between the rubber seal and the hole in the gas cylinder.
"Usually this is caused by the rubber seal not fitting properly," he stressed, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Lensa Elektro on Wednesday (20/3).

Often, people solve this LPG gas cylinder leak by adding a rubber band patch. However, unlike netizens on the Lensa Elektro YouTube account, this man admits that he has other tricks using just one simple tool.
First, make sure the rubber seal that comes with the LPG gas cylinder is in the right position. Then, prepare 1 more rubber seal.
Yup, this additional rubber seal is the main tool for practicing this trick to deal with leaking LPG gas cylinders. Next, cut the additional rubber seal with a knife or scissors into two equal parts.

After cutting, then insert the rubber seal pieces one by one into the gas cylinder hole. Press down so that the rubber seal is really tight. Then, install the regulator. After the regulator is locked tightly, first observe whether there is still a hissing sound or the smell of sulfur coming from the gas cylinder.
If the gas cylinder does not show any reaction, you can be sure that it is no longer leaking. Then, turn on the stove and if the fire is burning well, it means this tool is ready to be used for cooking.

How to clean the stove gas regulator hose
Cleaning the gas regulator hose on the stove is an important step to maintain the safety and performance of the device. Here are the general steps to clean it.
1. Turn off the gas.
Make sure the stove gas is turned off and the gas regulator is disconnected from the gas source before cleaning the hose.
2. Remove the hose.
Carefully remove the hose from the gas regulator. This usually involves turning a nut or something similar, depending on the type of regulator you have.
3. Check condition.
Check the hoses for damage or significant wear. If you find cracks, tears, or leaks, immediately replace the hose with a new one. Do not attempt to clean or repair a damaged hose.
4. Clean with liquid soap.
Mix warm water with a little liquid soap. Dip a clean cloth or sponge into this solution, then use it to thoroughly clean the hose. Make sure to clean all parts of the hose carefully, including the ends.
5. Rinse and dry.
After cleaning with soap, rinse the hose with clean water to remove any soap residue. Then dry the hose with a clean cloth or clean towel. Make sure the hose is completely dry before reinstalling it.
6. Reinstall.
Once the hose is completely dry, carefully reattach the hose to the gas regulator. Make sure to tighten it properly so that there is no gas leak when the stove is in use.
7. Check for leaks.
After reconnecting the hose, you must check for gas leaks. You can do this by unplugging the gas regulator back to the gas source and trying to spray a mild soap solution all over the connections.
If bubbles appear, it indicates a leak. However, if you find a leak, turn off the gas immediately and fix the problem before using the stove.
Make sure you follow these steps carefully and carefully to maintain the safety and performance of your gas equipment. If you feel unsure, it is better to consult a related professional to carry out proper treatment.
