FUEL GAS ODOR
Propane gas contains a man-made odorant added specifically 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 flame. Do not use your
telephone.
• Get everyone out of the building and away from the area immediately.
• Close all fuel supply valves.
• Propane gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas. When you have reason to suspect a propane
gas leak, keep out of all low areas.
• Contact 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 propane gas
supplier.
• FINALLY, let the propane 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 the leak, check for
further leaks, and relight the heater.
ODOR FADING - NO ODOR DETECTED
• Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the odor of the man-made chemical 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 and your local
natural gas supplier (utility) 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 aff ect your
sensitivity to that particular odor.
• The odorant in propane gas and natural gas is colorless 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 filter the odorant.
• Propane gas odor may diff er in intensity at diff erent levels. Since propane gas is heavier than air, there may
be more odor at lower levels.
