SAFET Y IN FORM ATION FO R USERS OF LP-GA S
g
Propane (LP-Gas ) is a flammable gas which can cause fires
and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and
colorless. You may not know all the following safety precautions which can pro tect both you and your family from
an accident. Read them carefully now, then review them
point by point with the members of your household.
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.
That's your signal to go into immediate action!
•
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 or area. Do that
•
IMMEDIATELY.
Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
•
•
LP-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 u ntil fire fighter s decl are the m to be s afe.

decrease your a bility to sm ell. 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

smell.

some circumstances.

•
Use your neighbor's phone and c all a trained LP-Gas service
person and the fire department. Even though you may not
continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not reenter the building or area.

Finally, let the service man and firefighters check for

Properly trained LP-Gas service people should repair the

odorant. Odorants in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation.
This fading can oc cur if there is r ust 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.
LP-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. A lwa ys be s ensit ive to the

• Learn to recognize the odor of LP-gas .
Dealer can give you a "Scratch and Sniff" pamphlet. Use it
to find out what the propane odor sme lls like. If you suspect
that your LP-G as has a weak or a bnormal odor, call your LPGas Dealer.
•
If you are not qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform
service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas
system. If you are qualified, consciously think about the
odor of LP-Gas prior to and while lighting pi lot lights or
performing service or making adjus tments.
•
Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light
pilot lights, perform servi ce, or make adjustm ents in an area
where the conditions are such that you may not detect the
odor if there has been a leak of LP-Ga s.
•
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. Od or fade can occu r in new
tanks, or reinstalled old tanks, if th ey are filled and allowed
to set too long before refilling. 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.
call your LP-gas dealer. A periodic sniff test of the LPgas is a good safety measure un der any condition.
•
If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-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 LP-Gas.
•
If you experience a complete "gas out," (the container is
under 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
orifices. 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 refilled before it is
completely empty.
If you have any question about the gas odor,
