Soapy Water Test for Gas Leaks
Here's how to perform a soapy water test to detect gas leaks, as described in the reference:
- Prepare the Solution: Mix a teaspoon of washing-up liquid with about 250 milliliters (around 8 fluid ounces) of water.
- Apply to Suspected Area: Apply the soapy water solution to the area where you suspect a gas leak.
- Observe for Bubbles: Watch closely. If bubbles form, it indicates that gas is escaping from that location.
This method is a simple and effective way to identify the source of a gas leak.
