Subject:Suspected refrigerator, internal propane leak??
From:sanford schulwolf

Hello, I am seeking advice regarding my 91 syncro
refrigerator propane leak.   I had the refrigerator
out about 2 years ago, before that point not a hent of
propane had ever been detected.  Lately I have
intermittently smelled a very light hint of propane.
The smell appears to come exclusively from the small
vent under the stove, not a trace of propane from the
rear vent area � thus the leak appeared to be emitted
from the stove.  Not so, about 3 weeks ago I got into
the stove area and preformed the soap bubble test on
all fittings � nothing, even did the not smart lighter
test, still nothing.  I did the same tests on the
refrigerator and stove propane connection- again
nothing.
One last thing, I have a propex heater, I checked the
fittings and not one leak detected.  Any thoughts or
advice would be greatly appreciated.  I would hate to
pull the refrigerator out just to find it wasn�t the
leak culprit.

Also has anyone had an experience with a
www.gasrefrigeration.net from Cranes RV in VALLEJO CA?

Thank you,
Baffled before winter camping, Sanford
