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) gas. You must determine if you
can smell the odorant in these fuel
gases.
• Learn to recognize the odor of
propane (LP) 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
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.
