Brilio.net - Many people are afraid to replace their own LPG gas cylinders at home. The reason is, the process of replacing an LPG cylinder is quite difficult, especially if it leaks when the regulator is plugged in. A sign that an LPG gas cylinder is leaking is a hissing sound.
Investigating further, it turns out that the leaking gas cylinder could be caused by the tip of the regulator not hitting the gas hole optimally. As a solution, a number of people deliberately patch the mouth of the gas cylinder with various tools, such as rubber bands or plastic.
Both rubber bands and plastic can be inserted into the mouth of the gas cylinder by pressing with your fingers. If so, then attach the regulator to the gas cylinder as usual. Because there is no empty space left, the gas flows perfectly into the regulator hose.
Unfortunately, rubber band and plastic patches are not durable because their texture is elastic so they tear easily. Therefore, you can imitate the method done by TikTok user @tkg_gas. By uploading videos, this netizen doesn't rely on any tools, you know.
So how?

Instead of patching it with a rubber band or plastic, he immediately pried off the rubber inside the mouth of the gas cylinder using the tip of a pair of scissors. You can see the shape of the rubber gas cylinder in the form of a small circle.

When it has been removed, put the rubber again upside down into the mouth of the gas cylinder. Yup, it turns out this trick is considered effective for dealing with leaking gas cylinders. Don't forget to gently press the gas cylinder rubber with your fingers, okay?

How to save LPG gas cylinders.
To save on LPG gas cylinders, there are several steps you can take.
1. Use an efficient stove.
Choose a stove that is efficient in using gas. A stove with a good combustion system will burn gas more efficiently, producing more heat with less gas usage.
2. Use a suitable pan.
Use a pot or pan that matches the size of your stove. A pan that is too large or too small can result in wastage of gas because the heat is not distributed evenly.
3. Use a pan lid.
When cooking, always use a lid on a pot or pan. By using a lid, the heat will be trapped inside the pot or pan, speeding up the cooking process and reducing gas usage.
4. Turn off the stove properly.
Make sure to turn off the stove properly after finishing cooking. Turn off the gas supply and make sure the flame is completely extinguished.
5. Check for leaks.
Regularly check the gas hose and regulator for leaks. Leaks can cause unnecessary gas wastage.
By implementing the steps above, you can reduce LPG gas consumption and save on your monthly expenses.
