Brilio.net - The stove is one of the household appliances that is used almost every day. Various cooking methods generally require fire from the stove to cook food.
Of the many types of stoves available on the market, gas stoves are the most common choice. In addition to being easy to use, the fuel is also easy to find.
However, the use of gas stoves is not free from obstacles, one of which is gas leakage during use. This problem can occur due to several factors, one of which is due to the regulator not being tightly installed on the gas cylinder.
Even though it has been rotated repeatedly, sometimes there is still a gap between the mouth of the cylinder and the regulator, causing the gas flow to not be fully channeled to the hose. If left unchecked, this condition risks causing a fire in the kitchen area.
To minimize this from happening, you can imitate what a netizen named Yoga Arief did. In addition to being easy to practice, the method he did also only relies on simple materials. Such as used tires, scissors, and screwdrivers.
As reported by brilio.net from YouTube Yoga Arief, Sunday (23/3), first remove the regulator from the gas cylinder. Hold the regulator upside down. Find and pay attention to the bottom regulator which is circular.
"It's usually loose at the regulator hole," he explained.

To patch the part, this netizen deliberately used only 1 waste. Namely, tire rubber. Previously, draw a circle according to the size of the regulator hole in the tire rubber.
"Only then cut the rubber according to the pattern that has been drawn," he explained further.

Next, install the tire rubber piece into the regulator hole. Press it with a screwdriver or any tool so that the tire rubber can fit perfectly into the regulator hole.
"Just push the tire until it stops," he said.

If it feels perfectly installed, turn it over and install the regulator to the gas cylinder as usual. Because it has been patched with tire rubber, the result is that only by turning it once the regulator is installed tightly and perfectly.

That way, the use of gas is guaranteed to feel safe. There is no more hissing sound or smell of gas coming out of the cylinder.
How to do it is easy, huh? This trick is very suitable to be practiced for those of you who often experience gas leaks at home.
Tricks for cleaning LPG gas hoses.1. Turn off the Regulator and disconnect the hose.
Make sure the gas cylinder is closed by removing the regulator first. Then, remove the hose from the stove and regulator to make the cleaning process easier.
2. Check the condition of the hose.
Before cleaning, check the hose for cracks, dirt, or signs of wear. If damage is found, replace it immediately to prevent leakage.
3. Use soapy water to clean the exterior.
Mix warm water with a little dish soap, then use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the outside of the hose. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the hose material.
4. Clean the inside with a solution of water and vinegar.
If there is dirt or grease on the inside of the hose, rinse it with a mixture of water and white vinegar. Pour this solution into the hose, shake it gently, then rinse it again with clean water until there is no cleaning fluid left.
5. Dry well.
Make sure the hose is completely dry before reinstalling it. Hang it or place it in a place with good air circulation so that there is no remaining water that can cause mold or scale.
6. Reinstall and check for leaks.
Once the hose is clean and dry, reattach it to the stove and regulator. To make sure there are no leaks, apply soapy water around the hose connection. If bubbles appear, there is a leak that needs to be fixed immediately.
