I have a US imported boat - currently has a permanent guage on the regulator which can be used to check for leaks (gas on, pressure stabalise, gas off wait for reading to change).
We need a new gas locker, and as the existing set up is unlikely to pass muster at the survey due next year we've decided to go for a complete new gas pipe from cooker to cylinder. The corgi bloke says that the bubble leak testers can be unreliable in a marine/salt environment (and with two 25mm vents required it really will be a salty environment), and says not to bother - he'll test when he's installed, and it should be OK after that.
What do you guys use to test your gas - or is it a case of 'fit and forget'? Seems a bit alien to me.....
I do have sniffers by the way.
