Brilio.net - LPG cylinders are a source of fuel for stoves that are widely used in households. The gas contained in this cylinder produces fire that comes out of the stove and is used for various activities, especially cooking.
The use of gas cylinders as cooking fuel is very practical. In addition to being easy to find, gas cylinders are available in various sizes and prices, starting from a capacity of 3 kg, 5 kg, 12 kg, to 50 kg.
However, sometimes the use of gas cylinders encounters certain problems, one of which is leakage. Leaks are often detected by the sound of hissing after the regulator is installed, indicating that gas is coming out of a gap that should not be. This problem can occur because the regulator or gas cylinder is worn out, so that the connection between the two becomes loose.
To overcome leaks, many people try to patch the gap with rubber bands or replace the rubber seal on the gas cylinder hole. The seal itself functions to lock the connection between the cylinder and the regulator. If a leak occurs, the seal is most likely damaged.
While replacing the seal or using a rubber band can help in some cases, these solutions are sometimes ineffective. Many people are looking for alternatives, as shared by YouTube user Business Inspiration.
Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he chose not to use it because of the bracelet or replacing the rubber seal of the gas cylinder. However, this netizen actually relies on other tools.

As reported by brilio.net from YouTube Business Inspiration on Thursday (3/4), the material used is used inner tube rubber. So, this rubber will be modified to the size of the tube hole and then installed inside.

To be more precise, first cut the tire rubber into a circle. Make sure the size matches the diameter of the circle at the end of the gas cylinder. If it feels right, make a hole in the middle (not too big or small).

Next, insert the tire rubber into the regulator hole. Then press the rubber until it is at the bottom of the regulator hole. After that, immediately install the regulator with the LPG gas cylinder. And sure enough, the gas cylinder was immediately installed tightly and there was no gas leaking at all.
"This trick can be used without the need for a (red) seal," says YouTube Business Inspiration.

Tricks to prevent LPG gas from rusting quickly.
To prevent LPG gas cylinders from rusting quickly, there are some simple tricks that can be applied. One of the main causes of rust on LPG cylinders is high humidity and constant exposure to water. Therefore, it is important to store gas cylinders in a dry place with good air circulation. Avoid placing them directly on the floor, especially if the floor is often wet or damp.
Using a base such as wood, a board, or a special stand can help prevent direct contact with surfaces that can cause corrosion. In addition, diligently cleaning the surface of the cylinder from dust and dirt can also slow down the rusting process. If you see rust spots, immediately clean them with a dry cloth and apply a little oil or light lubricant to protect the metal surface. With proper care, gas cylinders can last longer and remain safe to use.
