FOR YOUR SAFETY, PROPANE HAS AN ODOR ADDED SO YOU CAN DETECT LEAKS.
Propane smells like rotten eggs, a skunk's spray, or a dead animal. If you have trouble smelling gas due to age; a medical condition; or the effects of medication, alcohol, tobacco, or drugs, please consider purchasing a propane gas detector as an additional measure of security.
What should I do if I smell propane?
TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY
No flames or sparks!
Immediately extinguish all smoking materials and open flames. Do not operate lights, appliances, telephones, or cell phones.
Leave the area immediately!
Get everyone out of the building where you suspect gas is leaking.
Shut off the gas.
Turn off the main gas supply valve on your propane tank (turn the valve to the right/clockwise), if it is safe to do so.
Report the leak.
Go to a nearby phone and call your propane supplier right away. If you can't reach them, call 911 or your local fire department.
Do NOT re-enter the area until it has been deemed safe.
Get your system checked.
A trained service technician must check your entire system to ensure that it is leak-free.
