To make the solution for the soapy water test. For gas leaks, simply mix detergent (for washing clothes) with soft water. Place the solution in a liquid spray bottle or soap dispenser container. Note that some detergents well not form bubbles, which is why it is recommended you use one used for laundry, as they are formulated to make lots of bubbles, so it works better for the soapy test for gas leak. Bathing soaps won't work as well as laundary detergents, as it is formulated to be low sudsing.
When done, it is a good idea to leave the spray bottle with the gas cylinder, so it's always a handy reminder to perform the gas leak test. You can also use a plastic water bottle such for beverages and so on, by denting hole on the cover with a nail, a passage where the liquid solution can pass through. Spray the entire gas assembly with the soapy water solution.
Poor connection to the gas cylinder is the most frequent cause for gas leakage at home.
