Water in the gas locker
« on: July 09 2023, 08:31 »
Another part of my inspection was the gas locker and I always find water there that corrodes the bottom of the gas bottle.
I bought a kind of tupperware thinking that the water will not come in, but surprisingly the water fall into the container and remains there, making the solution worst than the problem.
Any other ideas?

It could be condensation draining down the cylinder.  Could you turn the container upside down so it lifts the cyliner up and doesn't collect the water?

I'll see if I have room enough but it is really a good idea.
Thank you!
