StewartJ Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Is this now a compulsory annual/bi-annual check by an approved workshop with a certificate provided etc? Been googling it but getting mixed messages? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 No I dont think so ...only if you hire it out. mine was tested last year and there was a small leak so worth doing :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hi Stewart, If you fit a Gaslow gauge then you can do your own leak test every time you turn your cylinders off. Full instructions are in the pdf download on this page. I'm planning on buying one at the NEC show in a couple of weeks time. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flicka Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Not compulsory, except as Eddie says you are hiring out your Motorhome. BUT it is a recommendation & could be useful if you are unfortunate to have an Insurance or Warranty claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A alternative fitting to the Gaslow 'on-bottle' propane adapter gauge can be obtained from BES Mail Order. See the "Multi-Purpose Safety Fitting" product on: http://www.bes.co.uk/products/063.asp Besides providing a leak-testing facility, this fitting includes an excess-flow valve.

Brian Kirby Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Or, if you have the Truma Secumotion (or Drivesafe) system installed with auto changeover between two cylinders, if you fully charge the system and then isolate at both cylinders, leaving all appliances off, but all internal gas supply valves on, the changeover indicator will turn red when the system pressure drops to near zero, simulating an empty cylinder. Takes several days on ours, indicating negligible leakage on both high, and low, pressure joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartJ Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 I thank all for your input, I only ask after discovering my new MH was actually built at beginning of year so gas certificate expires in a couple of months, I'd of thought the dealer should have picked this up and carried out a test prior to handover.
