Was up in Aberdeen on Tuesday, and I detected a smell of gas. Tightness with both incoming an outlet valves turned off showed a leak on the meter somewhere, I LDF the whole thing an still didn't find it.Anyway called out Gas Board they came out and the guy couldn't find it with his LDF so out came his sniffer he found the leak around the index sight glass in a few seconds.So after years of doing this it dawned on me.....WHY DON'T I HAVE A GAS SNIFFER!!??!?So chaps could anyone recommend one? Have just turned off some gas in Cockermouth due to a tiny drop and smell of gas but I'm struggling to find the leak on the 2" iron pipework so a sniffer would certainly help!Thanks chaps,Ryan.

Oh right. No just tube. Always used just tube.

If you need it longer or rigid put some pilot tube inside the end

It's that thick neoprene type stuff...... Only the best will doodle doo

For some reason I had thought there was one like a normal sniffer end

I can't see pictures Shaun

Unfortunately.

I've tried but this Forum is getting worse by the day.

I have to delete double postings and wait for ages to post anything anyway.
