The Day That Gas Tong Kaput-ed



Two weeks ago Mamarazzi had an "Uh-Oh" situation. Halfway cooking, the gas finished. She changed the tong of Gas by herself as usual.

After changing, Mamarazzi turn on the Regulator. Uh-Oh! she can heard loud hissing sound plus bad gas smell escaping from the Regulator. Tried several times with the same result.

Alamak! Papa not around. How ah? Then Mamarazzi thought of my Uncle Ah Chai. She texted him asking him to help to buy a new Regulator. Must be the Regulator rosak, right?

Uncle came. He changed the Regulator and yet the hissing sound and bad smell continued when the Regulator was turn on. Then discovered that there is something wrong with the Valve of the Tong of Gas.



The next day, the man from the Grocery Shop came and checked. Found out that the tiny rubber inside the valve have worn out. He said he had encountered this problem before. Said will occurred for 1 in every 100 or 200 Tong of Gas.

How come like that one? The tong of Gas was new with the security cap intact before Mamarazzi open it. The Gas company never check properly before they send out the Tong for sell meh? Dangerous leh.



The helpful man dug out the rubber from tong and replaced it with the rubber from the empty tong of gas.

This is the offending object which had caused Mamarazzi's much stress and wasted Uncle Chai's RM15 for the new Regulator. Mamarazzi tried to give money to Uncle but he refused to accept. Thank you very much Uncle.

  11. wooo. bad wor. but these things happen. have to look out ourselves too. lucky you alert.

    in my old days, i always get gas smell at the bottom of the cabinet where i store the cylinder. long accepted it as normal because every new tank the same problem.

    then when i bought the al cheapo cooker when i shifted to stay on my own, i never had this problem anymore.
    still don't understand because last time also got checked by the gas fellas.

  22. At least you have a spare tong. I don't. Everytime my gas habis, have to call this kedai runcit and they'll send a new tong to me in 5 mins. Senang lor, they fix everything for me and check before leaving... (but sometimes, halfway cooking, very kacau also)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh...this is unexpected. Dangerous ler. I thought hissing sound means regulator rosak tim.

    ReplyDelete
  24. wow...i will be kelam kabut if this happen to me.
