working on gas.

My gas supplier has turned the gas off at the meter saying there's a a leak or the system needs tightening. Currently there's a 0.5 milli bar 'leak' in 2 mins. which he says is within limits but should be checked out by a gas safe engineer. while in a 'discusion" with an 'expert in everything' :- when I said I don t; know anyone that's gas safe so I couldn;t do this as a DIY job, unless I became gas safe registared and I don't believe that would be an efficient use of my time or be profitable. he has said in another post. me > > I don;t know anyone that is gas safe, He is a blitheriong idiot or have I got this wrong ? can I really repair my own gas leak

Ah, I forgot that it was a fire you were referring to, not a boiler. In this case, the gas man was being an idiot. Of course there will be some CO present in the combustion gases.

The important thing is whether it is functioning properly, and if not, can it be fixed.

Personally, I would vacuum out the dust & cat fur and just keep using it with your CO alarm as back up but then I'm a "risk taker". ;-)
