Plus I'm getting a new lp gas monitor from lazy daze and I need to get that installed, thanks! Alphpup 2001 23.5 TK What tank do you want to get inspected? DOT 20# bottle do need to be inspected. Tanks 4# to 40 # need to be inspected. First time is at 12 years. It is not worth the bother to get these tanks inspected. The best way to take care of this is to go to a place that sells/rents filled tanks. (Lowe's. Home Depot or grocery stores. Look in the cage for a new tank. One that has a date of this year. No more than 1 year old. Trade your bottle for this one. You only pay for the propane and not the tank. Now this tank is yours. Keep it for 12 years and then once again swap tanks.I do this when ever one of my tanks needs inspection. (12 years old) I have never had a clerk give me any problem. The tank on the MH is a ASME tank not a DOT tank and these do not get inspected.

He has his own setup in a trailer. Used him may times and is a constant referral from other RV places including Camper World. He has all the parts and is very good at his trade. Enchanted Trails is on the 40 on the south side about 8 miles west of Albq. John Leach- ColoradoOn Friday, March 21, 2014 9:30 PM, "gabepc@..." wrote:

It is simple to hook for testing and should take less than an hour. The pressure should remain at 11" of water, even when the gas has been turned off at the tank. The propane detector is simple to install, two wires (match the polarity) and two screws.Larry
Re: Lp gas inspection Reply #5 – March 22, 2014, 08:24:42 pm Yahoo Message Number: 145438Couldn't hurt, I guess, but I've never bothered with checking for leaks except after I've worked on the system (adding Wave 3 etc). That said, very sensitive combustible gas detectors (tool version) are available on Amazon for $150 - $200.I purchased one to find a leak in my underground propane tank after the propane company came out and couldn't find the leak! I knew there was a leak, as I could smell the propane, though only in the winter. The gas detector located the leak even though applying soap solution and "proper" leak detector solution didn't do the job (though it would have, if they had known where to apply it - it was a tucked away hidden spot). One of the nice things about the gas detector is that it works kind of like a geiger counter in that it beeps faster the closer the probe gets to the leak.The detector is also good for finding leaks downstream of the appliance shut-off valve. Things like a leak at the pilot light fitting, etc. It also finds petroleum and flammable solvent leaks, so can be used on fuel line fittings.bumper
