SAFETY INFORmATION FOR USERS OF PROPANE GAS

Propane is a flammable gas which can cause fires and explosions.  

In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless. You may 

not know all the following safety precautions which can protect 

both you and your family from an accident.  Read them carefully 

now, then review them point by point with the members of your 

household.  Someday when there may not be a minute to lose, 

everyone’s safety will depend on knowing exactly what to do.  

If, after reading the following information, you feel you still need 

more information, please contact your gas supplier.

PROPANE GAS WARNING OdOR

If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas 

because of the odorant put in the Propane Gas. That's your 

signal to go into immediate action!

• 

Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone.  

Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.

•   Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do 

that IMMEDIATELY.

•   Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
•   Propane Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas 

such as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas 

leak, keep out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until 

firefighters declare them to be safe.

•   Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained Propane Gas 

service person and the fire department. Even though you may 

not continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not 

re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.

•  

Finally, 

let the service man and firefighters check for escaped 

gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly 

trained Propane Gas service people should repair the leak, 

then check and relight the gas appliance for you.

NO OdOR dETECTEd - OdOR FAdE
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell 

the odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must find out if 

you can smell the odorant in propane.

 Smoking can decrease 

your ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your 

sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in 

the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor or 

their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a gas 

odor can make it easier to smell.

The odorant in Propane Gas is colorless, and it can fade under 

some circumstances. 

For example, if there is an underground 

leak, the movement of the gas through soil can filter the odorant. 

Odorants in Propane Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading 

can occur if there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into 

walls, masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will 

take some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
Propane Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity 

could vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may 

be more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas 

odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately 

go into action as instructed earlier.

SOmE POINTS TO REmEmBER

• 

Learn to recognize the odor of Propane Gas. Your local Propane 

Gas Dealer can give you a “Scratch and Sniff” pamphlet. Use 

it to find out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect 

that your Propane Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your 

Propane Gas Dealer.

• 

If you are not qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform service, 

or make adjustments to appliances on the Propane Gas system. 

If you are qualified, consciously think about the odor of Propane 

Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service 

or making adjustments.

• 

Sometimes  a  basement  or  a  closed-up  house  has  a  musty 

smell that can cover up the Propane Gas odor. Do not try to 

light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an 

area where the conditions are such that you may not detect 

the odor if there has been a leak of Propane Gas.

• 

Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of 

new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should 

be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders 

are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or 

reinstalled old tanks, if they are filled and allowed to set too 

long before refilling. Cylinders and tanks which have been out 

of service for a time may develop internal rust which will cause 

odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic 

sniff test of the gas is advisable.

 If you have any question 

about the gas odor, call your Propane Gas dealer. A peri-

odic sniff test of the Propane Gas is a good safety measure 

under any condition.

• 

If, at any time, you do not smell the Propane Gas odorant and 

you think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the 

same immediate action recommended above for the occasion 

when you do detect the odorized Propane Gas.

• 

If you experience a complete “gas out,” (the container is under 

no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately. If the 

container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air 

through openings such as pilot light orifices. If this occurs, some 

new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is left open, then 

treat the container as a new tank. Always be sure your con-

tainer is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container 

before it goes completely empty or having it refilled before it is 

completely empty.
