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.

ODOR FADING - NO ODOR DETECTED

•Somepeoplecannotsmellwell.Somepeoplecannotsmell

theodoroftheman-madechemicaladdedtopropane(LP)or

naturalgas.Youmustdetermineifyoucansmelltheodorant

inthesefuelgases.

 •Learntorecognizetheodorofpropane(LP)gasandnatural

gas.Localpropane(LP)gasdealerswillbemorethanhappy

togiveyouascratchandsniffpamphlet.Useittobecome

familiarwiththefuelgasodor.

 •Smokingcandecreaseyourabilitytosmell.Beingaroundan

odorforaperiodoftimecanaffectyoursensitivitytothat

particularodor.Odorspresentinanimalconfinementbuildings

canmaskfuelgasodor.

•The odorant in propane (LP) gas and natural gas is

colorless and the intensity of its odor can fade under

some circumstances.

 •Ifthereisanundergroundleak,themovementofgasthrough

thesoilcanfiltertheodorant.

 •Propane(LP)gasodormaydifferinintensityatdifferentlevels.

SincePropane(LP)gasisheavierthanair,theremaybemore

odoratlowerlevels.

 •Alwaysbesensitivetotheslightestgasodor.Ifyou

continuetodetectanygasodor,nomatterhowsmall,treat

itasaseriousleak.Immediatelygointoactionasdiscussed

previously.

ATTENTION - CRITICAL POINTS TO

REMEMBER!

 •Propane(LP)gashasadistinctiveodor.Learntorecognize

theseodors.(ReferenceFuelGasOdorandOdorFading

sectionstotheleftandabove).

 •Evenifyouarenotpropertytrainedintheserviceandrepair

oftheheater,ALWAYSbeconsciouslyawareoftheodorsof

propane(LP)gasandnaturalgas.

 •Ifyouhavenotbeenproperlytrainedinrepairandserviceof

propane(LP)gasthendonotattempttolightheater,perform

serviceorrepairs,ormakeanyadjustmentstotheheateron

thepropane(LP)gasfuelsystem.

 •Aperiodicsnifftestaroundtheheaterorattheheater’s

joints;i.e.hose,connections,etc.,isagoodsafetypractice

underanyconditions.Ifyousmellevenasmallamountofgas,

CONTACTYOURFUELGASSUPPLIERIMMEDIATELY.DONOT
