No — this method is unsafe and inaccurate. Rocking the bottle can loosen/damage the pigtail connection to your regulator, which may cause gas leaks. Tapping the cylinder also won’t give a reliable indication of how much gas remains. Always use the warm water method to check levels safely.

The best way to check the gas level in a cylinder is to pour warm (not boiling) water down the side of the cylinder, then run your hand from the bottom up over the same area. You’ll feel a temperature change (warmer) where the gas level sits. A condensation line may also form. This method works well for estimating levels — especially useful when tracking usage across kitchens, heaters, or appliances in your business.

No — this is unsafe and ineffective. Rocking the bottle can loosen/damage the pigtail connection to your regulator and create leaks. Tapping doesn’t provide an accurate reading either. For safety and reliability, always use the warm water method described above.

Yes. LPG is widely used in commercial kitchens, accommodation, and industrial environments. It’s non-toxic, clean-burning, and governed by strict safety standards. At Hotgas, every cylinder is leak-tested before delivery, and our drivers are trained to report safety concerns. We also re-certify cylinders every 10 years and regularly check installations as part of our service.

If both cylinders were replaced while no one was on-site, we are legally required to turn them off. This is a safety precaution to prevent gas flow in the event an appliance was accidentally left on. It helps protect your property from potential gas buildup inside.

Queensland regulations require a licensed gasfitter to issue a Gas System Compliance Certificate upon completion of their work. This certificate must be submitted to Hotgas before your first LPG delivery. It ensures your system is legally compliant and safe to operate.
We also recommend you store the certificate securely — it may be needed for insurance claims or property transfers in the future.
