I bought one of these from Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It arrived with no wiring diagram.

It will be wired into a 12v system on a boat.
Where do I go from here.
(I hadn't realised it was coming from China or I would have shied away)

The description says: "12V model with non-polarised (reversible) power
terminals for easy wiring ". It also says it has a "relay output".
II should guess the red and black for power leads and the other three
connect to single pole double throw relay. You might need to connect
it to a power supply and expose it to gas to be sure which two represent
the n/o contact. Or you could just join the two which are currently
shorted together and use with the one that isn't for a normally open
switch if you need one.

Thanks for the help I had guessed what the red and black were but the others confused me, Sounds like I couldn't do it much harm

I often used to wonder about the gas man going up and down the street with
a naked flame looking for a colour change that indicated a gas leak.I mean
we all could smell it, but it seems it can go a long way underground till it
finds its way out. I realise its quite safe while trying to find the source,
but it frightened the heck out of me the first time I saw it done. Has to be
in open air of course or boom.
