its crazy! I am to the point I hate to even pull my spray bottle out and hose a tank down for kicks and grins.
I make myself so late getting home when I do that as I find all sorts of crappy tiny leaks I got to stay and burn daylight to fix!

Just remember, at the very least you're saving them money ... on the other side of the coin, you just might be saving someone's life. Your diligence in doing a job properly will pay off someday.

Slow has it right, use a dish soap solution in a spray bottle and check for bubbles. Or like my gas fitter buddy used to say, "use safety matches"
YES he was kidding!!!!!!!!!!!
LP gas is a great fuel but you must respect the safety rules and use common sence. Unfortunately, some people can flick their lighter faster than they can think.
