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 Propane Gas is colorless, and it can fade under
some circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak,

ants in Propane 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.
Propane Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity
could vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may

SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
PROPANE GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the Propane Gas.
That’s your signal to go into immediate action!
