Hi all,
I have just sorted out a refilled 907 bottle for the new ocean. Connected (for the first time) using the provided gold coloured safety valve. Tested out the cooker, all good. I was about to screw the lid onto the bottle container bin when I could hear the slightest sound of a hiss.. Even after turning the valve off under the burners. (So it was not caused by gas flowing to the rings)
With the help of a length of 1/4" inch tube, one end to my ear the other around the gas fittings and regulater I found the leak to come from the shaft of the gold coloured safety valve when it was open. Closed was no leak.
This has clearly a fault in the flange.
This will be a visit to a dealer to get it reported as I think these safety valves must be just put in the polly bag and chucked into the bin and are never gas tested on the vehicle during construction.
Possibly those who have posted a strong whiff etc from the bin area may have a similar issue.
