Gas pipe warning
Do not use rubber pipes where Squirrels or Badgers can get at them, if you do then cover with old cleaner pipe. They will eat through the pipe and release the gas very easily, this applies to awnings or anywhere outside the van also in storage, if a large
cylinder is fitted the danger is severe.
We have had two pipes gnawed and gas released from 47 kg cylinders fitted to bangers to keep birds away, before fitting the extra covers over the pipes. Also watched Squirrel eat the hard plastic top of a petrol can, making a large hole, they like the fumes
of petrol.
Gas companies know about the problem but do nothing about it.
