In Response To: Gas Smell (Rich H)

I've never heard of the FG tanks leaking, but anything is possible.

Turn off everything electrical. I would normally advise to disconnect the batteries, but that may cause an arc and we don't want that either if there is a gas smell. Bottom line here is be careful.

See if you can get a radiator pressure tester. I would turn off your valves to the engines and put something in the vent line to close it off. Pump up the tank thru the fill for just a very few lbs. and check for leaks.
