 Propane is a liquid stored under pressure in tanks and cylinders.  In its natural state, propane is an odorless, colorless gas.  A chemical odorant is added to propane to give it a distinctive smell so that its presence may be detected. 

Detecting a Propane Leak 

Always be sensitive to the slightest gas smell.  Learn to recognize the odor of propane gas. Following is some examples of warning signs there may be a gas leak: 

• When the smell of gas lasts more than an instant after igniting stove-top burners 
• When the presence of a foul odor persists 
• When you cannot find the reason for the foul odor. What you think may be garbage, sewage, or a dead animal may be a serious gas leak. 
• When you hear a hissing noise near a gas appliance or storage tanks and cylinders. 

What is Odor Fade?  

Odor fade can occur when there is an underground propane leak.  The movement of gas through the soil can filter out the odorant. New and reconditioned tanks and cylinders that sit too long before being filled are prone to internal rust when moisture and air get inside.  This can also cause odor fade.
