Gas testers (gas leak testers)

LPG leakage testers

Gas leak testers are devices used to detect leaks in LPG gas systems. Leaks can cause gas leaks, which pose a serious safety risk in the operation of cars with LPG systems.

Types of gas leak testers

There are several types of LPG gas leak testers, the most popular of which are:

Foam testers: They spray foam onto the surface of the gas system. Foam bubbles are formed at the site of the leak, making it easier to locate the leak.

Electronic testers: They detect leaks based on changes in the concentration of gas in the air.

How to use the LPG leak tester

How to use an LPG leak tester depends on its type. However, the general principles are similar:

Prepare the installation: Make sure the installation is switched off and there is no gas pressure in the system.

Apply tester: Apply foam, run the electronic detector or place the ultrasonic sensor near the installation.

Look for bubbles: For foam testers, observe the formation of bubbles. For electronic or ultrasonic testers, pay attention to the indication of the device.

Locate the leak: Identify the exact location of the leak and fix it.

When testing for leaks in the LPG system of a car, practical and inexpensive foam testers are mainly used.

For detailed information on the selection, use and maintenance of LPG leak testers, contact a qualified gas fitter.

Remember that safety comes first! Use only certified LPG leak testers and have the leak repaired by a qualified installer.
