This lunchtime I pulled into a garage to fill up with LPG, as I've done many times before. Put the nozzle on, gave the quarter turn clockwise ........... and could hear gas coming out of the nozzle! This was before I even attempted to pull back the trigger. Tried again - same thing happened. Could hear what sounded like gas rushing out of the locker vent. Not happy with situation so hung up nozzle and opened gas locker. Inside the stainless steel pipe to the tanks and their fittings was covered in white gas. Needless to say I abandoned my attempt at filling up.
Now why should this happen? How is gas getting in to the locker around the filler instead of going down the pipe? Is there some kind of seal which can fail?
And you know what's also bugging me? This is the first time I've gone to fill up with gas since Peterborough and Tyre-gate. The Gaslow filler is accessible from outside - could it have been tampered with as well as the tyre valves? :Sad:
