FUEL GAS ODOR
LP gas and natural gas have man-made odorants
added specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks.
If a gas leak occurs you should be able to smell
the fuel gas. Since Propane (LP) is heavier than air
you should smell for the gas odor low to the floor.
ANY GAS ODOR IS YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO
IMMEDIATE ACTION!
• Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel gas.
Do not operate any electrical switches. Do not pull
any power supply or extension cords. Do not light
matches or any other source of flame. Do not use
your telephone.
• Get everyone out of the building and away from the
area immediately.
• Close all propane (LP) gas tank or cylinder fuel
supply valves, or the main fuel supply valve located at
the meter if you use natural gas.
• Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and may settle in
low areas. When you have reason to suspect a propane
leak, keep out of all low areas.
• Use your neighbor's phone and call your fuel gas
supplier and your fire department. Do not re-enter
the building or area.
• Stay out of the building and away from the area until
declared safe by the firefighters and your fuel gas
supplier.
• FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the
firefighters check for escaped gas. Have them air out
the building and area before you return. Properly
trained service people must repair any leaks, check
for further leakages, and then relight the appliance
for you.
