FUEL GAS ODOR
Propane (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) gas 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 (LP)
gas 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) gas. You must determine if you
can smell the odorant in these fuel
gases.
•
Learn to recognize the odor of
propane (LP) gas. Local propane (LP)
gas dealers will be more than happy to
give you a scratch and sniff pamphlet.
