5. Lack of proper ventilation air will lead to improper combustion.
6. Improper combustion can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning leading to
serious injury or death. Symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning can

FUEL GAS ODOR
LP gas and natural gas have manmade 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 OROR IS YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE
ACTION!
1. 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.
2. Get everyone out of the building and away from the area immediately.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Use your neighbor’s phone and call your fuel gas supplier and your fire
department. Do not reenter the building or area.
6. Stay out of the building and away from the area from the area until declare
safe by the firefighters and your fuel gas supplier.
7. 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.
