[Resolved]  Indian Oil Corporation — L.P.G. cylinder leakage

Many often I have seen my gas cylinder gets empty before 5 to 6 days of normal time which made me suspicious. On weighing on delivery, the weight is okay but spring balance as you know its accuracy is limited to +/- 1 kg. On pouring a little water on the cylinder valve (I know this practice is prohibited from the company but its the only sure way of knowing a leak in the valve and no where in the terms and conditions of the TV voucher this malpractice is clearly indicated) I found 4 out of 5 cylinders with leakage bubbles. Even the delivery boy, unofficially admitted that 90% of the cylinders' valve leak a bit.
On your telephonic request to the delivery man that day, he expressed inability to give another cylinder due to new seal problem. I was bound to take the slight valve leaking cylinder which can be felt by a thumb. On personally going to the Shyamsundar Enterprise, Midnapore office, they only sent an expert who told that cylinders are supplied from IOC and we only distribute them and we cannot repair the slight leak and advised us to put the safety cap which will prevent the slight leak. But Sir, as you know a non air-tight plastic safety cap can never prevent leakage completely.
