FUEL GAS ODOR
LP gas has 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 this fuel 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.
• 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) 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
Forced-Air Single-Fuel NOMAD Construction Heater
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.
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 above.
• Even If you are not properly trained in the service and
repair of the heater, ALWAYS be consciously aware of
the odors of propane (LP) 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 WAIT!
