Something many people don’t know: Similar to the examination by T\u00dcV for cars, the components of the LPG system \u2013 and not least the system itself \u2013 are subject to defined inspection and replacement periods on boats and ships.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The type, scope and time are defined in worksheet G 608<\/strong> of the German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water (DVGW) with the working title “Small water crafts \u2013 Operating and inspecting the LPG system”.<\/p>\n
