If a gas cylinder leaks, take these steps:-
Number 1
Keep in mind that if you smell even a slight smell, then understand that the gas cylinder is leaking. In such a situation, first of all, open the windows and doors of the house and do not light matches or switch on any light. Also, keep children away from all these things.
Number 2
If the cylinder leaks, turn off the regulator because gas will continue to leak if it remains on. If the gas leaking still does not stop, then remove the regulator and close it by placing a safety cap on the cylinder.
Number 3
If you have come to know that your gas cylinder is leaking, then inform your gas agency or delivery people. This makes it the responsibility of the agency to immediately replace your cylinder and give you a new and correct cylinder.
Number 4
If you feel that the gas cylinder is leaking excessively, do not keep it indoors. Keep it in an open place or immediately put a cap on this cylinder and take it to the agency. Be careful to keep it out of the reach of children.
