the safari detector is a "sniffer".. it goes off if it smells lpg IN THE
IMMEDIATE AREA
the pressure cguage shows a drop in pressure if there is a leak ANYWHERE in
the system
to protect yourself with sniffers, you would have to install them in quite a
few places... refrig, water tank, furnace... all of which are semi-sealed
compartments
quite expensive and time consuming to install
with the guage, if it shows a drop in pressure, you shut off the tank and
drive to a plumber who can detect the location with his sniffer
