• During the warm months if you receive a gas delivery, keep in mind that propane gas is liquid and vapor and expands when warm. Each tank has a pop off valve to release gas pressure.
• If you believe you have a small gas leak on the regulator or gauge you can check this by taking some dish washing detergent and water, place soapy water on the regulator or gauge, if it bubbles you have a small leak. Notify your propane gas company. They will come out to do a pressure test.
