[Resolved]  Indane Gas — Cyliner Leakage due to Bad PDI (Non fixing/Bad fixing of Cylinder Rubber Vacher)

This is second time in 6 months of period, we found supplied Indane gas cylinders from Gurudatta Indane Gas Agency doesn't have rubber vacher fixed properly. My 'Indane Gas Customer Number 22090'. We found that the mistake was taken place at "Cherlapally Indane Gas Company'. Because of poor/neglicted 'Pre Delivery Inspection' before sealing cylinders and sending them to the local dealers to supply for consumers.

Usually we fixed gas regulator to the cylinder for regular use and left home for shopping. We received a phone call from neighbor flat owner that, they are getting lpg gas smell from our flat. When we rushed home, we found that total flat was filled with lpg gas and called service person for gas leakage.

The service person was kind enough to visit our flat at night about 9:30 PM and traced that the cylinder was not having proper rubber vacher, which will prevent gas leakage. This is the second incident in 6 months span.

Its creating a terror in our family to use 'Indane gas' cylinders which were not taken any basic precautions like cheaking up gas leakage and proper fitments of 'Vachers' at Cherlapally 'Indane Gas Company' cylinder filling station before delivering to the dealers to supply to the customers.

We also found 'water was accumulating around the cylinder' and service person asked us to keep cylinder outside in the balcony and promised to replace new cylinder next day.

This incident created so much mental tension for few hours in whole family & if we would have not aware of the precautions during gas leakage, our total family might have been a victims of Gas cylinders blasting.

If 'Indane Gas Company' don't take any basic precautions like this, we would like to approach Consumer forum for necessary justice.
