LPG Gas tank Testing
LPG Gas Tank Testing in South East Melbourne with Accuracy
We offer services for LPG gas tank testing in South East Melbourne and surrounding suburbs at reasonable prices. It is mandatory to get the LPG gas tank fitted in a vehicle checked once it completes 10 years of use. LPG gas tank testing must be carried out by professional autogas technicians at a well-established LPG service centre.
Our technicians test the LPG gas tank installed in cars and 4Wd vehicles as per the Australian standards. We replace the damaged or worn-out components after the testing process. We have a stock of top-notch components of automotive LPG systems. We stamp the date of inspection on the neck ring of the LPG tanks fitted in the vehicles of our customers to abide by the regulations.
We carry out the following activities for LPG Gas Tank Testing:
We remove the tank in most cases to inspect them properly.
External testing of the autogas cylinder is performed.
Internal inspection of the gas bottle is conducted.
Valve strings and the cylinder neck are checked.
We check the external surface of the LPG cylinder for the signs of damage such as corrosion, dents, scratches, gouges, and nicks. The gas valve has to be removed for checking the internal areas of a gas bottle. During internal LPG gas tank testing, the presence of rust and other types of contamination is checked. We also check whether valve threads are clean and free from cracks and other issues.
Once the testing is completed, we install a new valve and dispose of the old valve in an environment-friendly way. We can accomplish every job of LPG gas tank testing with accuracy as we have up-to-date equipment. We make sure that the integrity of the connection and the structural condition of the LPG system meet the required standards. We can even repaint the external surface of a gas bottle.
Additionally providing LPG conversion and LPG installation guarantees safe integration and effective migrations to LPG systems. Our knowledge in LPG tuning and repairs maximises system performance and fast remedies problems. Our Auto Gas Tune Ups ensure that your LPG-powered car runs fault-free, therefore providing dependability and fuel savings.

Why LPG Gas Tank Testing in South East Melbourne is necessary?
Inspection or testing of automotive LPG gas tanks in every 10 years is prescribed by the government not only in South East Melbourne but in every area of the country. The LPG cylinder is tested to check whether it has expired or can be used for another 10 years. If the tank passes the inspection, it is degassed and refilled. If the LPG bottle fails the inspection at any stage, it is not tested any further and the customers are advised to get the new tank installed in their vehicle.
Whenever the vehicle owners visit any LPG refilling station, the staff checks the last testing date on the neck of the cylinder to ensure that it is suitable for use. If the last testing date shows that the tank has been checked even after the passing of the expiry date, i.e., it has not been checked for more than 10 years, then the staff at refilling station denies to refill the cylinder.
Moreover, LPG gas tank testing at recommended intervals is important for your safety while you are driving your vehicle on the road. Even though the LPG cylinder should be tested every 10 years, you can opt to get it inspected more frequently. If you observe any usual signs, you must take your vehicle to LPG service centre immediately.

I recently went to Marco for some advice and guidance in relation to my 80 series landcruiser. I want to modify a few things and add a few accessories. Marco and the team were so helpful and spent plenty of time with explaining the pros and cons of different options. Honesty and integrity in this business cannot be questioned. Marco has not always just fitted me in for an appointment last minute but has continued to be understanding and adaptable to my requests. Marco and the team are a family based business that make you feel like your part of the family not just a ordinary customer. Marco is such a professional and honest mechanic. I have been going to his workshop for the last 6 year. He always provides excellent advice & service and is very well priced. Marco's integrity is unquestionable. I would recommend Marco from A1 gas and mechanical service to any one that wants a peace of mind and professional, honest, excellent service. Marco has never let me down. Once again,Thank you Marco and the team for such great experience and your continuous efforts and support.

They know how to rip you off when you're in need.
I towed my Ford Falcon which had a minor gas problem here, Marco said this car has a serious gas system failure that needs at least 3 days to work on. I went home after 2 hours had a call from them saying you can pick up that car. it is fixed. He charged me $850 for a list of stuff that he had changed and repaired in two hours. I realized that moment I was ripped off badly. I took the car home and the next day the Gas meter had a fault, I called them and explained this to Marco, he actually didn't listen to me at all and hung up on me. Bottom line... they do not care about you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you test a car's LPG tank?
Testing an LPG tank calls for many stages to guarantee its safety and operation:
Look for any leaks, rust, or obvious damage via visual inspection.
Look for leaks around valves, fittings, and connections using a soapy water solution or a gas leak detector.
Make sure the tank can manage the necessary running pressures by doing a pressure test. This usually entails running the tank on a safe gas like nitrogen and looking for pressure retention.
To find structural integrity, the hydrostatic test fills the tank with water and pressures it to a set level. Usually, licenced experts conduct this test.

How do you pressure test a car's gas tank?
Pressing a car’s gas tank follows these guidelines:
Get the tank empty and clean first. Cut all electrical connections and the gasoline lines.
Seal every hole save the one for the air supply and pressure gauge.
Pressurising the tank to the manufacturer’s advised pressure with an air compressor will help you
Watching the pressure gauge will let one determine whether the tank maintains the pressure. Every decline in pressure points to a leak.
Spray over the tank surface and fittings a soap and water mixture. At any leak site, bubbles will develop.
What is the pressure of LPG car tank?
Although temperature affects the pressure within an LPG automobile tank, usually it falls around 100 PSI (pounds per square inch). LPG tanks are made to resist much higher pressures for safety as at higher temperatures the pressure may rise dramatically.
