Great idea, but all the consumer units (and many of the really high $$ pro
gas analyzers) I've seen cannot distinguish between CO and hydrogen--a
molecule likely to be found present in off-grid homes.  I found this out the
hard way when equalizing....

I've had this explained by a LPG fridge repairman as breaking up the ammonia
crystals that tend to form in the small tubing, especially when units are
run out of level.

Doing solar here in Santa Fe, we see more than our fair share of crystal
gazers.  Which just leads me to ponder...if ammonia crystals can jam up your
fridge and sulphation crystals tend to clog up your batteries, what is all
that jewelry doing to those poor people?

Nevermind...I'm getting back to work now.
