Propane leak check

Hello! Just wondering the best way to check for a propane leak. I wanna check the connection to my propane tanks in the hose. What is the best way to check soapy water? Thanks in advance!

I purchased a propane detector years ago and use it on every tank change. Works like a charm.

Soapy water works fine.

Either of the methods above will work. I have the same leak detector that Norty has but I also have a digital manometer that I can connect to the propane system at multiple points to help identify propane leaks and more.

I use a leak detector similar to the one that NORTY1 has, but is the red one shown a little further down the page.
