Borr 6,634 Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 That's incredible, looks like by eight in the evening the house had about filled up with gas, it has to be above and below a certain point. A friend of mine said as a youngster he'd been sent out to a suspected gas leak did some test for this old dear and it was below a danger point and he couldn't find any obvious leak. 3am another call got there and old dear had a gas fire on full blast and the gas content in house was too high to ignite , so it had gone through the blow up stage with out blowing up, he discovered the boiler had been serviced or part replaced and it had been over tightened and pinched the small bore pipe, said someone was looking out for him a very lucky lesson learnt....
