[quote=[Deleted User];74055266]No smell of gas and its 2mb. Apparently the tolerance is 4mb so I aint digging up my floor for that.

Out of interest how much gas am I wasting there though at 2mb?[/QUOTE]

Turn everything off,check the reading on the gas meter,check it again 24 hours later and see how many units of gas you have used ( if any )

You are allowed upto 8mb drop with no smell of gas depending on the type of meter you have

What !!!!!!
If you no much as think you have a gas leak in your property ring the gas emergency number.
I would be turning off the gas NOW.

Just shows - don;t believe everything you read on the internet.

2 mb is about 0.03psi
(Air pressure is about 15 psi)

So it is about a 500th of the current weight of air on the top of you head.

AKA not a lot

Yes but as somebody pointed out theres never a 0 - there are no absolutes.

As such, we've got to go on guidelines and tolerances. If 2mb is within a tolerance then surely if you swiched the gas off and called out the supplier they'd measure it and say "nah not bothered".
