[Resolved]  Indane Gas Cylinder — Gas Leakage

Gas cylinder was supplied to me ( Customer No. 21990) on the 3rd of July 2008 at 11:00 am. The payment was made by cash memo no. 11575 and was stored properly in a cool and dry place. Subsequently, around 11:30 a.m we smelled gas and found that there was leakage in the sealed cylinder.Immediately the leakage was complained to Nedus Distribitors(Distributor for Indane) at 11:30 a.m. A mechanic was sent on the same day at about 5.00 p.m. and confirmed the leakage and a complaint slip was issued. He assured that the same would be replaced the next day.
We regret that till this time no action has been taken and the cylinder has been stored safely with intact seal.
On 7th July, our representative visited the distributor's shop at about 9:30 a.m. The complaint slip was taken back from him by the distributor and he was told that the action will be taken after consulting the mechanic.
This is highly irregular and we will appreciate replacement of the sealed and intact cylinder without leakage immediately.

After opening the seal of an Indane gas that was just delivered, I have given the gas regulator connection. After connecting the regulator, I have just opened regulator's Knob. I heard the gas cylinder leaking noise clearly. I thought that I ll have to connect properly and tried again. Even after connecting properly the gas was leaking after opening regulators knob. Then I inspected properly the difference between the empty cylinder and the new one. The new cylinder had a defect. A rubber washer was missing in the delivered cylinder. This was the reason for the leakage. I was surprised that the cylinder had escaped so much of security checks that Indian oil company would have at their factory. This shows that some loop hole definitely exist in the company's security policy.

Now a days even HPC Cylinders delivered have some defective rubber washers. This may be due to excess heat to which cylinders are exposed. However, they have to check before delivering the same to avoid possible major accidents.
