I bought gas cylinder and gas burner recently. Though the cylinder is a bit far from the gas burner as both are traditionally connected by a hose, I still had to buy a gas detector device in case there is a leakage of gas.

The problem, however, is I tested the gas detector but it didn't seem to work and I think I didn't understand certain things about it yet.

I took the gas detector to a guy selling gas and asked him to release gas directly towards the gas detector but the gas detector still read "0" PPM when I felt the number of the PPM should increase whenever the gas detector detects gas. I tested the gas detector outside, with a lot of air, I hope the test environment was not the problem? Or was it that I just don't know how to properly test it?

Find a picture of the device below:

What you have there is a carbon monoxide detector e.g. exhaust fumes, generator fumes etc

Okay. Thanks. I thought as much too.

I made a mistake. Now, I will need to buy a gas leak detector.

Come and buy my nose... Very effective
