How to Use GasStop

Now that I've got the appliances back in, the refrigerator and the stove are reinstalled, gas lines are hooked up, so the next thing I'm thinking about is, here at the propane tank, what if we someday get a leak in those gas lines? This is a great product. This is a GasStop. And it's gonna do what it sounds like. If we have a major gas leak, it's gonna stop the gas from flowing.

Installation is crazy simple, and I'm gonna do that right now. To get this installed, one, read the instructions, that's always a good idea, but it's crazy simple. Acme thread, all we have to do is screw this onto the tank. Then, line into the camper. Now to activate the system here, you're gonna prime this, and that's done just by pushing on this, and the instructions, like I said, are really, really good for this.

So we'll do that in a second. The other thing that's great about this product is, it's gonna tell you how much gas you have. Who wants to leave on a camping trip and find out later that they're gonna run out of propane? Additionally, it's gonna help you if you have a minor leak in your system, it's gonna help you determine if you have a minor leak. So there's a lot of cool stuff going on here.

Let's have a look at priming this. Once you're connected, and of course, all I had to do was tighten those to be in line, now open the valve on your propane tank. And then when we do this, the needle starts to register. So again, this is gonna do a bunch of things for you. Major leak, it's gonna shut the system down.

It's gonna help you determine if you have a minor leak. That's all laid out in the instructions, how you do that. And then here, we got a fuel gauge, so we know where our tanks are at, before leaving on the trip. And like I said, good thing to know, how much propane you have before you get going. Buying a little bit of peace of mind for your camper, in a couple of different ways here, is a good thing.

So one, this protection against major leaks, two, knowing how much gas before we leave for the trip. Lot of really good stuff going on with the GasStop product here, and definitely worth adding to a camper.
