you can 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, the movement of the gas through soil can lter the odorant.
Odorants 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 be more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the
slightest gas odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious
leak. Immediately go into action as instructed earlier.

You may not know all the following safety precautions which
can protect both you and your family from an accident. Read
them carefully now, then review them point by point with
the members of your household. Someday when there may
not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety will depend on
knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the following
information, you feel you still need more information, please
contact your gas supplier.
•  Your local
Propane Gas Dealer can give you a “Scratch and Sniff” pam-
phlet. Use it to nd out what the propane odor smells like. If
you suspect that your Propane Gas has a weak or abnormal
odor, call your Propane Gas Dealer.
• If you are not qualied, do not light pilot lights, perform ser-
vice, or make adjustments to appliances on the Propane
Gas system. If you are qualied, consciously think about the
odor of Propane Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or
performing service or making adjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the Propane Gas odor. Do not try to
light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an
area where the conditions are such that you may not detect
the odor if there has been a leak of Propane Gas.
• Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of
new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should
be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders
are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or
reinstalled old tanks, if they are lled and allowed to set too
long before relling. Cylinders and tanks which have been
out of service for a time may develop internal rust which will
cause odor fade.
If such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic sniff test
of the gas is advisable. If you have any question about the
gas odor, call your Propane Gas Dealer. Aperiodic sniff
test of the Propane Gas is a good safety measure under
any condition.
• If, at any time, you do not smell the Propane Gas odorant and
you think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the
same immediate action recommended above for the occasion
when you do detect the odorized Propane Gas.
• If you experience a complete “gas out,” (the container is un-
der no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately.
If the container valve is left on, the container may draw in
some air through openings such as pilot light orices. If this
occurs, some new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is
left open, then treat the container as a new tank. Always be
sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off
at the container before it goes completely empty or having it
relled before it is completely empty.
• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your
phone. Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
• Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
• Propane Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas
such as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas
leak, keep out of basements and other low areas. Stay out
until reghters declare them to be safe.
• Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained Propane Gas
service person and the re department. Even though you may
not continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do
not re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
• Finally, let the service man and reghters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trained Propane Gas service people should repair the leak,
then check and relight the gas appliance for you.
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!
