• DQOTD - electrical circuit for propane detector
  • Do you have a seperate solenoid switch or just the breaker?
    • Just a breaker for the solendoid
  • Propane detector
    • Good points, solenoid circuit sounds like the way to go
    • Xintex detector
      • My system has a test circuit. The sensor lasts
        • Good point about keeping the sensor low
    • Is it possible for the solenoid to fail
      • I don't think so, Doug.
        • It may have happened to mine
      • After about 18 months, mine failed in closed position.
  • Unless you turn the valve off at the tank EVERY
    • IF you have one sensor, it should be in the bilge.
  • Testing your propane system
    • In line timer to solenoid
    • Our sensor was incredibly sensitive
