I not sure what you are referring to but at my mum's place, we using the normal gas tank and a rubber hose connects to the cooker hob. We did not change it for the last 10 years until one day, when my mum ordered new gas, the fella informed my mum that the rubber has already gave way and is actually leaking. We do not smell it because it is inside the cabinet, which is closed, so no sparks no smell nothing at all. Physical inspection of the hose shows that it has deformed. So his advise is to replace it every 5 years to PLAY SAFE. Ultimately, choice is yours. Like in our case, no smell nothing touch wood nothing happened until we needed to replace the gas tank. If one fine day it decide to leak a lot overnight.......goodluck. I personally do not want to take such risk.
