If your barbecue grill sits in an enclosed area or an enclosed cart, the leaking propane or natural gas can collect inside. This can cause the collected gas to explode if you have a combustion source near. So, one of the most important things you can do is regularly check for propane or natural gas leaks. The gas leak test is an easy technique and simple to do and only takes a few minutes.
DO: Get supplies
You will need a small bowl, some dish soap or liquid soap, water, and a small basting brush or paint brush. Take the bowl and put about a half cup of water in it. Add a drop or two of liquid soap and then mix lightly until all the water is soapy.
DO: Propane
Make sure the propane or natural gas is connected to the barbecue grill and is turned on. You want the gas to pressurize in the lines and fittings while you are doing the test.
DO: Apply soapy water
Take the small brush and cover all the lines and fittings. There will be small bubbles around the area you brushed. Watch for new bubbles forming. If new bubbles form you have a leak. If no bubbles form, you do not have any leaks. If the hose has a leak, you need to replace it. If the leak is at a fitting, you often can take off the connection and then reconnect it to fix the problem.
DON'T: Light the grill
If you light the grill while you have a leak, it can make the gas explode. If there is a lot of gas, you could even burn down your house. You could also get hurt. So, until you check for leaks, don't light the grill.
DON'T: Smoke
A cigarette has an open ignition source. If you happen to drop ashes with live embers down in an area with gas, it can explode. If the cigarette falls out of your mouth and enters a place with gas, it can also cause an explosion. Both can injure you and cause fire damage. Don't smoke near the grill until you know there are no leaks.
DON'T: Open flames
Don't have any open flames, like candles, nearby before or during the time you are checking for leaks. An open flame can make the gas burn just like when you light a propane stove with a match. Other open flames are lighters, matches, and outdoor fireplaces.
Checking for a gas leak on your gas barbecue grill is an easy technique. You get soapy water and brush it on all the hoses and connections. If you see bubbles forming, you have a leak. Both hoses and connections are easy to fix. Fix all leaks before lighting your barbecue grill. It's a good idea to do a gas leak test about once a month or whenever you change the connections.
