I was using one of my gas bottles from the van for our home BBQ today. Discovered a smell and used the good old soapy water check system and there it was .....a leak at the joining connectors of the bottle and the BBQ unit hose.. So swapped it over to another bottle and problem fixed, so I assume that the t...
