Propane gas and natural gas have man-made odor-
ants added speci
fi
cally for detection of fuel gas leaks.
If a gas leak occurs, you should be able to smell
the fuel gas. THAT’S 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
fl
ame. Do not
use your telephone.
■
Get everyone out of the building and away from the
area immediately.
■
Close all propane gas tank or cylinder fuel supply
valves, or the main fuel supply valve located at the
meter if you use natural gas.
■
Propane 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
fi
re department. Do not re-enter
the building or area.
■
Stay out of the building and away from the area
until declared safe by the
fi
re
fi
ghters and your fuel
gas supplier.
■
FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the
fi
re
fi
ghters check for escaped gas. Have them
air out the building and area before you return.
Properly trained service people must repair the
leak, check for further leakages, and then relight
the appliance for you.
■
Some people cannot smell well. Some people
cannot smell the odor of the man-made chemi-
cal added to propane or natural gas. You must
determine if you can smell the odorant in these
fuel gases.
■
Learn to recognize the odor of propane gas and
natural gas. Local propane 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.
■
The odorant in propane gas and natural gas is col-
orless 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
fi
lter the odorant.
■
Propane gas odor may differ in intensity at different
levels. Since propane 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.
