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 LP-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 LP-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.
LP-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.

Propane (LP-Gas) 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.

•  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.

•   LP-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 LP-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 LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then 

check and relight the gas appliance for you.

If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas. 

That's your signal to go into immediate action!

•  Learn to recognize the odor of LP-gas. Your local LP-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 LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your 

LP-Gas Dealer.

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

service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas 

system. If you are qualified, consciously think about the odor 

of LP-Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or perform-

ing service or making adjustments.

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

smell that can cover up the LP-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 LP-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 LP-gas dealer. 

A periodic sniff test of the LP-gas is a good safety measure 

under any condition.

•  If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-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 LP-Gas.

•  If you experience a complete "gas out," (the container is un

-

der 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 container 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.
