Hopefully that will sort it then

Pop 5l in, bring home, then check for smell?

Hmm... Tricky one that. Id didn't start leaking until it was full before :-/ :-/ But I'd be wanting to start with less than a full tank this time

When you do fill it, keep an eye on the pump in case the shut off doesn't cut in like before

Tempted to put just a little in, check, then perhaps half fill it, check again, then fill to 70% on gauage, check, then let it run out again, and fill to full or 65l, and adjust tank as reqd

Sound like a superplan?

Sounds like the best plan you can really use

Got a can of gas leak detector spray    if it helps. Spray on, blows bubbles from the gas escaping. Probably the same as soapy water though.  :-/

It is soapy water

Like I said, trouble is that it didn't leak until it was full and had been in there for 5 mins or so

Aha, different apparently :-/ doesn't corrode or sumat. De ironized maybe. ..?

I'd guess that it's oil based in some way :-/ :-/

My can of gas leak detector from shitfix is, errr, shit

Back to nostrils for me

As I said on Sunday... The best leak detector for LPG is the Mark 1 Nose and Ears

are you sure the gas escaping is not from a certain curry?     

[TheBoy]

Popped 10l in the tank, no sign of leak in the gas tight box , so now need to add a bit more. Might pop it straight up to 65l.


The downside, is both Mrs TheBoy and I are convinced there is a leak from front end, we both reckon around the 1/3/5 bank, though it could be from vap/filters, anywhere really.  Don't think its 2/4/6 bank. Can't seem to pinpoint further though - nothing seems to be visibly leaking, and the shitfix leak detector is as much use as a used johnny smeared in dogshit.

Really? I'd be very surprised if there is Certainly wasn't any sign of a leak on Sunday

Sure you're not being a touch paranoid?

We both smelt it it bonnet open. Smell seems to go when on petrol, and I reckon return after a few seconds of running on *any* lpg injector, making me think:

liquid filter
evap
gas filters
injector blocks
hoses

[TheBoy]

just cant pinpoint it though, other than it is defo 1/3/5

[Lazydocker]

After the faff with the tank valve I think I'd be looking around the liquid phase filter :-/ check the bowl on it hasn't worked a little loose with all the trial fit/re-fit, remove, fit again

Can't see it being a vapour phase leak with how tight the hoses were

After having another sniff, I'm wondering about injector block.

LPG gas is heavier than air, isn't it (though with the heat in engine bay, who knows  :-/)
