What to do if gas regulator is leaking?

Remove the regulator from the gas cylinder. The inbuilt cylinder valves close themselves as soon as the regulator is removed and stop the leak. This is the best way to stop a gas cylinder leakage. Open the windows and doors to allow the gas to dissipate, call the emergency number and report the situation.

Why my gas cylinder is not working?

Turn off all gas appliances. It is usually impossible to re-pressurise the system if there are appliances trying to draw gas from the system. Turn the service valve off and wait 15 seconds. If you do not hear a click, then this was not your problem, so open the service valve fully and check for another problem.

Why is my gas tank humming?

Humming or Gurgling. The problem is likely that your tank was overfilled. In this case there is too much pressure in the tank, which puts strain on the regulator. This in turn causes a low flow of propane out of the tank. An indication of this is when the flame appears to be lower than usual.

What four things you should do immediately if you suspect that LPG cylinder is leaking?

Why does a gas cylinder make noise?

A gurgling or humming noise after you have turned your gas on could mean that your propane tank has been overfilled. An overfilled tank puts excess pressure on the regulator and reduces the outflow from the tank. This could result in weak flames, low heat and discoloured pilot lights.
