    It's when you leave it in your pocket turned on, and then try to deny a silent fart, and it snitches on you... :P

      It can be used both professionally and for entertainment. Isn’t it a very interesting gadget?😂😂

    You've gone so mainstream. I remember the days when a sniff and a listen was enough for you.

    Takes me back to working on static caravanes in France , although I would have to crawl around underneath them most of the time…

    Did you tighten the connector?

      Sure did. They were all reasonably loose.

    I don't know if you need the tool, when soapy water is the gold standard.
    Oh i wish you had shown us the repair and final testing process

    • @DavidMcLuckie
      @DavidMcLuckie  Рік тому +3

      I'm sure the tester has its place. But I still check with soapy water. And it did narrow down the area of the leak before I had to pull the hob and sink up.
      The repair was a very dull tightening of the slack connector (most likely heat cycled) and then a spray with soapy water to confirm no more leak.

    Your gas cyl should be in a sealed gas box, why are you checking the thermostat control ? Its 12v

    • @DavidMcLuckie

      I didn't know it wasn't part of the gas. It's not my van.

      That's not a thermostat, it's just a 12v rheostat that sets the Webasto demand level.

      No, as as far as I am aware (and happy to be corrected) you don't need a GasSafe engineer to work on your own vans gas system.
