Whoever is doing your gas test should be more than competent at locating and fixing the problem. If they have put you in a situation where you feel you need advice from others get a new gas engineer. Don’t want to sound harsh, but it’s your safety and others. I’ve seen an oven destroyed by a tiny gas leak.

I would find it more helpful if someone could simply answer the question.

Bit harsh on someone just trying to help you.

What are you going to do if someone does suggest something, have a go at fixing it yourself? How are you then going to test the system? Just get someone in who is qualified to sort the issue.
It’s your van of course but gas is the one area I personally wouldn’t be messing with.
