Brilio.net - LPG gas cylinders have become a very important piece of furniture in everyday life, especially in the kitchen. As the main source of fuel for cooking, LPG gas provides convenience and time efficiency in preparing various dishes. With its ease of use that can be directly connected to the stove, LPG gas has replaced the use of firewood or oil stoves which are more troublesome and impractical.
However, despite being a practical tool, LPG gas cylinders also have certain risks, especially if not properly maintained. One of the problems that often occurs is gas leakage when the cylinder is about to be used. In some cases, gas cylinders tend to leak when the regulator is installed. This is indicated by a hissing sound in the gas cylinder.
Well, to overcome this, many people rely on rubber bands to contribute to the leak. But sometimes, this method is not optimal in blocking the leak.
Instead, you can use a trick from YouTube user INFO & IDE KITA. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to only relying on one type of kitchen waste to overcome a gas leak in the regulator.

Next, pierce the center of the plastic with a stick (for gas flow). Then, reinstall the regulator as before. Compared to before, the gas cylinder leak has completely stopped. That way, the gas flow is smoother and the stove can light up perfectly.

To be safer, make sure you always make sure the gas cylinder is in good condition and does not leak. To prevent leaks in LPG gas cylinders, the first step that needs to be done is to make sure the gas hose is properly installed and there are no cracks or damage. The gas hose should be replaced regularly, especially if it looks hard or stiff, because this can cause leaks.
In addition, make sure the regulator is tightly installed and not loose. Also check the valve on the gas cylinder, make sure it is closed properly after use. Before turning on the stove, check by dripping soapy water on the connection between the hose and regulator, as well as the gas cylinder valve.
If bubbles appear, it indicates a leak, and immediately turn off the fire source and repair the damage. With good maintenance and regular checks, the risk of LPG gas leaks can be minimized.
The video about the trick to overcome hissing and leaking LPG gas cylinders has been watched more than 14 thousand times. Who would have thought, many other YouTube users gave direct responses through the comments column. Most admitted to having used the trick.
