Hi jof thanks for clearing that up , learnt something today about gas safe regulations in mobile vehicles, Thank you

Thanks for showing this, very useful, good diagnostics.

Great vlog jof well fixed saved alot of money ❤ Chris/ Jan

[@paulperry-z4g]

just an observation, gas is heavier than air, so the detector would sense gas better if you held the sensor on the hob steelwork...so, if possible trace your pipework with the sensor below potential leaks....Rgds ...

[@MOHOTELADVENTURES]

@@paulperry-z4g you’re definitely right Paul 🙏thanks 🚍🏨

[@gordonbaxter6325]

Hi Jof’ very useful information video tracing the smallest of gas leaks. I can mind a gas engineer telling me use spray gas leak detection, just spray the joints and a bubble should start to appear he said it works on all low and high pressure systems. 👍

[@MOHOTELADVENTURES]

@@gordonbaxter6325 great information Gordon appreciated 💯👌

[@sidpf1972]

If the top test was beeping on the pipe after the solenoid and the fridge was off,it means you still have a leak as the valve is letting by. Also there are two types of ptfe . My advice is to get a gasafe engineer to put their manometer on the test point by the gas bottles to be 100% sure Thanks 👍

[@MOHOTELADVENTURES]

Many thanks Sid appreciate your comment absolutely bang on I have just ordered a new solenoid valve no messing. 🙏🚍💯

Well done m8

[@DarrenFinch]

when you first switch that on you should be outside in fresh air then take it to the hob.

[@MOHOTELADVENTURES]

Thanks Darren 🙏

Great vid Joff ,very informative just ordered a gas leak tester your costing me a fortune. Have you had a new starter battery for your Van recently I'm after 1 but not sure of cranking amps & type to get any info what you have would be greatly appreciated, as were of to Scotland nxt mth & dont trust the original batt so trying to source the correct one thanks Chris.

[@MOHOTELADVENTURES]

The gas leak tester is great Chris, if that is your original battery 🔋 grab the numbers off it and contact your local motor factor may offer some different make options.🧐👌

[@Chris-g1l2t]

Thanks for your reply Jof as for your Starter battery could you possibly inform me of the make & type of yours please Ah hrs & ccc amps thanks very much for your time Chris.

[@Chris-g1l2t]

Reason is don't know if this is the original battery as bought Van 2nd hand thanks again Chris

[@derekt7606]

Jof. Get some odd nail varnish colour and mark up all the unions. Not that I don’t trust workshops but £120 to detect what you did.

[@MOHOTELADVENTURES]

I’m going to be the only one undoing these again Derek, little an update I have just ordered a solenoid valve & some yellow ptfe tape to do the complete job.😎👌💯

[@Chris-g1l2t]

Jof bought the Van 2nd hand so don't know if it's the original battery sorry to b a pain, thanks Chris.

[@mikewykes6565]

Just goes to show how good a £20 gas leak detector of Amazon is as a diagnostic tool, great bit of detective work on your part to. Get the solenoid valve replaced asap. Amazon also do cheap non invasive damp meters, they may not be terribly accurate but will give you an idea if one area of your motorhome has an issue!

[@MOHOTELADVENTURES]

@@mikewykes6565 thanks Mike ordered the solenoid and the correct ptfe 🟡tape and looking at the damp meters 👌🚍🏨💯

[@derekt7606]

@@MOHOTELADVENTURESJof let us know what you buy. Also if you are five years old are you replacing the cam belt which is something I think Fiat recommend. Any airbag ecu or Truma element issues. We have changed the ecu a few months ago and will be replacing our elements this week as one has died.

[@MOHOTELADVENTURES]

@@derekt7606 no problems with either of those ecu’s and we are going to sort the cam belt after returning from this forthcoming trip. 👌

[@MOHOTELADVENTURES]

@@derekt7606 will keep you updated on damp meter, want to try and source a good one hopefully 🤞

[@mikewykes6565]

@@MOHOTELADVENTURESI bought the “Proster Pinless Moisture Meter” just checked and it’s currently on offer at £15.49, that a lot cheaper than I paid 😢 I do a quick test around my motorhome every couple of months and compare results to the previous test, hopefully that way I’ll spot any issues before they become problems.

[@WilliamStacey-r6i]

Hi joff, just to let you know you have now told the world that you have taken gas fittings apart and put back, unless you are a gas registered engineer you have broken the law ! Gas safe regulations can only be carried out by a gas safe engineer . Just a thought mate ?

[@MOHOTELADVENTURES]

@@WilliamStacey-r6i thanks for letting me know, tomorrow I will be fitting a new gas solenoid valve and using the correct gas ptfe and retesting I am confident I can carry this out to the correct standard very similar to when I connect my cadac to the outside lpg point👌🚍🏨💯

[@WilliamStacey-r6i]

@@MOHOTELADVENTURES please be careful here mate, gas safe regs are very robust , if you are not qualified you are not allowed to touch it, of course every body dose but if you get it wrong watch out!!

[@MOHOTELADVENTURES]

@@WilliamStacey-r6i thanks for the concern appreciate it, I deal with very high pressure diesel systems etc so awareness of over tightening unions and such like. But sure we will sort it. 😎🙏

[@mikewykes6565]

Sections 3 & 4 of BS EN 1949:2021 Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998 (GSIUR) covers installation of LPG systems on campervans. I don’t believe any laws have been broken.
