Gas Leak

Hi
Maybe to save some time and effort some kind person could steer me in the right direction?
Due to an electric outage at home I tried to use the van gas.
On turning on the cylinder at the locker, I was surprised by a whoosh of gas.
It was fine last time I used the van a few weeks ago but obviously something has blown!
It has been extremely hot here so maybe a seal has gone.
My system is Autogas Aluminium bottles twin with auto changeover.
Where should I start looking?
I would appreciate any help before I start to identify the fault.
Thanks and regards
 
Sorry not an auto changeover!! The cylinder pipes go into the Tuma Monocontrol valve.
 
The gas is coming out from behind this valve.
Is this fixable or do I need a new valve?
 
Picture below.
I believe there is an update to this valve now.
Is it worth 4 x the price?
Thanks

The yellow button is out and if I turn on the cylinders I can feel considerable gas escaping.
I believe that this is the crash sensor button but if it does come out, surely gas should not be escaping!!
The regulator is probably faulty now!
 
I replace my crash sensor one, when it failed, with a normal one. I decided if the crash sensor one leaked without crashing I'd be safer with a standard one that just doesn't leak
