The O2 sensor on my 4gas has died, guess it's a 3gas now

and listen to that little voice in your head that says 'its not a good idea'

If we all did that, this forum would be derelict places.

Only just seen all of this, my bad as been busy with work! I don't plan on dying underground at all - that was the reason for getting the 4gas, its a start to the safety equipment.

SnakeOil, the maintenance isn't too bad til one of your sensors goes.. The way I see it, there is no value on your life.

I've been guilty on draining without the meter/literally in trainers and a pair of old trakki's and do realise this was a stupid move, but then on the other hand (and not that im justifying unsafe draining) all hobbies come with a risk.

Peace guys and safe draining!

H2S is nasty, if you go into a sewer without a gas monitor you are just asking for trouble, the reading you got was 2 ppm (parts per million), and at really high levels it is explosive..........but it will have poisoned you way before it gets that high!!! It usually gives off a nasty egg smell, although after exposure to it for a few minutes your nose becomes de-sensitised to it which makes it even more dangerous as you can think it has gone away when it hasn't!!!! The black sludge in this sewer means that is is going septic, and this is where the h2s is coming from, so beware black sludge when down there, try not to disturb it!! (also means theres a good chance of methane down there too so no smoking lol)
