[T2] Gas fumes

[John Sheldon]

Thanks all for your concerns about the house!!

Have checked hoses - which wee all new - looks ok.

I'm thinking about the vent line - not familiar with where I could see it.  I wonder as a short term fix whether keeping the tank only partially full will help ?

But I completely agree with checking the system from start to finish.  I preemptively replace the gas lines every couple of years.  Last time the line from the tank broke when I touched it leaving me pinching the line and hoping somebody would come to hand me a clamp :)
