ODOR FADE WARNING

FUEL GAS ODOR
LP gas and natural gas have man-made odorants added specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks.
If a gas leak occurs you should be able to smell the fuel gas.  Since Propane (LP) is heavier than air you should smell for the gas
odor low to the floor. ANY GAS ODOR IS YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE ACTION!

• Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel gas. Do not

operate any electrical switches. Do not pull any power
supply or extension cords. Do not light matches or any other
source of flame. Do not use your telephone.

• Get everyone out of the building and away from the area

immediately.

• Close all propane (LP) gas tank or cylinder fuel supply

valves, or the main fuel supply valve located at the meter if
you use natural gas.

• Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and may settle in low

areas. When you have reason to suspect a propane leak,
keep out of all low areas.

• Use your neighbor’s phone and call your fuel gas supplier

and your fire department. Do not re-enter the building or
area.

• Stay out of the building and away from the area until

declared safe by the firefighters and your fuel gas supplier.

• FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the firefighters

check for escaped gas. Have them air out the building and
area before you return. Properly trained service people must
repair any leaks, check for further leakages, and then relight
the appliance for you.

ODOR FADING - NO ODOR DETECTED

• Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell

the odor of the man-made chemical added to propane (LP)
or natural gas. You must determine if you can smell the
odorant in these fuel gases.

• Learn to recognize the odor of propane (LP) gas and natural

gas. Local propane (LP) gas dealers will be more than
happy to give you a scratch and sniff pamphlet. Use it to
become familiar with the fuel gas odor.

• Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being around

an odor for a period of time can affect your sensitivity to that
particular odor. Odors present in animal confinement
buildings can mask fuel gas odor.

• The odorant in propane (LP) gas and natural gas is

colorless and the intensity of its odor can fade under
some circumstances.

• If there is an underground leak, the movement of gas

through the soil can filter the odorant.

• Propane (LP) gas odor may differ in intensity at different

levels. Since Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air, there
may be more odor at lower levels.

• Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you

continue to detect any gas odor, no matter how small, treat it
as a serious leak. Immediately go into action as discussed
previously.

ATTENTION - CRITICAL POINTS TO REMEMBER!

• Propane (LP) gas has a distinctive odor. Learn to recognize

these odors. (Reference Fuel Gas Odor and Odor Fading
sections above.

• Even If you are not property trained in the service and repair

of the heater, ALWAYS be consciously aware of the odors of
propane (LP) gas and natural gas.

• If you have not been properly trained in repair and service of

propane (LP) gas then do not attempt to light heater,
perform service or repairs, or make any adjustments to the
heater on the propane (LP) gas fuel system.
