Handheld electronic gas leak detector
Hi, I was wondering if anyone on the forum has used the Techamor Y201 gas leak detector? If so, what was your experience with it? If not, what units have you tried and recommend? Thanks!

I used this one a couple of years ago to locate a very small leak in the propane range in the house: https://www.tequipment.net/GeneralNGD7201.html
It worked ok, but it's a really slow process because the detector has a long response time. We were sometime picking up a very faint gas smell for a couple of years that I was never able to locate without the detector because the leak was so slow. My outside tank developed a leak at the gauge last year. That one was easy to find with soapy water but very difficult to seal. It took me a few tries and in the end multiple layers of dope and tape on the threads.
