Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the
odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must nd out if 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. Imme-
diately go into action as instructed earlier.
Propane is a ammable gas which can cause res and explo-
sions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless.
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.
• Learn to recognize the odor of Propane Gas. 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!
