Checking for LP gas leaks
Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first use, at
the beginning of each season, or every time your LP
gas tank is changed, you must check for gas leaks.
1. Make a 50/50 (soap/water) mild soap solution.
2. Turn the control knobs to full OFF position; then
turn gas ON at supply tank.
3. Apply the soap solution with a clean brush to all
gas connections. See below. If growing bubbles
appear in the solution the connections are not
properly sealed. Check each fitting and tighten or
repair as necessary.
Gas Connection Leak Check
4. If you have a gas connection leak you cannot
repair, turn gas OFF at supply tank, disconnect
fuel line from your grill and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME
or your gas supplier for repair assistance.
5. Also apply soapy solution to the tank seams. See
below. If growing bubbles appear, shut tank OFF
and do not use or move it! Contact an LP gas
supplier or your fire department for assistance.
